Employee donor highlights

Employees Cares, your gift matters

Thank you for your generous support of Employees Care! We may have different roles and different reasons for giving, but we share a common goal of providing our patients and families with the best care possible.

Here are some of the reasons your fellow employees choose to support Employees Care:

“As an employee, I see all of the good that donations do for our patients and families. I see firsthand how these funds are improving patient care and making a difference. Some of the equipment purchased with grant money from donors in our regional clinics saves families trips to Fort Worth. With a child that has medical needs, a trip to Fort Worth can be very hard on a family. It makes me proud to know that I, in this small way, have helped with this.” – Susie Spellman, Regional Clinics administration, years at Cook Childrens: 24
“My ‘why’ is best reflected in a quote by Maya Angelou: ‘I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ It's the little things that Employees Care helps with that can make a difference for these kids. The music, the arts and crafts, the holiday parties, the amazing therapy dogs. It's the ‘little things’ that all add up to the big things during these difficult times for them.” – Tim Fancher, Cook Children’s Health Plan – Pharmacy, years at Cook Childrens: 8
“To see a smile on a child's face is priceless, and if I can make a child’s wish come true I gladly do it every time.” – Johnnie Davis, Food and Nutrition, years at Cook Childrens: 33
“I enjoy giving to helping others. I think it's great that we can choose different areas to give to. Sometimes it is personal needs, equipment or kids camp. Employees Care is just another way to show we care!” – Ashley Wieberg, Research Operations, years at Cook Children’s: 30

Your dedication and generosity create moments of magic here at Cook Children’s every day. Thank you for making a difference!
