Why I'm supporting The Independent's appeal for GOSH – the hospital that saved my daughter's life
I will be forever grateful and eternally beholden to the infinitely courageous and kind individuals who work at Great Ormond Street Hospital
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The darkest days of my family’s life were spent within the walls of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). It was an extremely anxious time, full of unknowns, and the most frightening period of our lives.
But, owing to the phenomenal care shown by all the staff at Great Ormond Street, they not only brought us continued hope on a daily basis, but ultimately saved my daughter’s young life.
During that stretch, I was amazed to witness the nurses, doctors, and all involved, approach their work with such great diligence and purity of heart that no matter the severity of the situation, every child was treated with the same love and expertise. By all this, I was profoundly moved and I will be forever grateful and eternally beholden to these infinitely courageous, kind and professional individuals.
And hence, I wholeheartedly support this appeal and thank the papers and you, the readers, for supporting such a worthy cause. I hope people dig deep and give generously to this magical hospital so it can continue to be a home away from home for very sick children and their families; and house the world-class skills and knowledge that will hopefully help all of our babies to get better.
