I recently read where we were working from January 1st through June 30th of each year to pay all of our taxes. Before that, 100% goes to the government in some form or fashion. It pays for some kind of government worker, work program, social program, defense, project, health care, common good. Whatever you want to call it, April 15th is TAX day, the deadline for filing your federal income taxes. | PDF
So in celebration of this particular time of year, let’s talk TAX relief. If you received last month’s letter from me, you would recall our goal of trying to raise $25,000.00 for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, CHLA. But – we need your help, and I believe you can benefit from the TAX relief.
Just down the street from where I am typing this, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles has a whole house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their parents’ taxes are not “top of mind,” health is. Living is. Surviving is. As you may have heard, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles is front and center in the fight against nasty diseases that destroy or cut short the lives of Children. We are thankful to have such a fantastic facility close by, doing such great work to help heal and save young people. So even though we are trying to figure out how much we owe the taxman, many are simply hoping they can be here to actually pay taxes. So we here at Entar have resolved to do what we can to help.

Why I support Childrenʼs Hospital Los Angeles
I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
Sincerely,

After a Broken Arm, Parker Is Back In the Swing of Things
The 5-year-old’s family credits a team of fracture experts at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for helping their daughter recover from a playground accident.
By Candace Pearson
It was a fine June day when 5-year-old Parker made her confident way across the monkey bars at her local park when her hands suddenly slipped and—bam!—down she went. Parker landed on her right arm and didn’t get up.
Parker’s parents, Christy and Justin, rushed her to a nearby urgent care facility where a doctor determined that she had broken her upper arm bone (humerus), just above her elbow. Finding out later that this is one of the most common breaks in children Parker’s age was small comfort to her parents. Their child was hurt and needed help. Parker’s recollection is a bit more straightforward: “I fell. I broke my arm. I cried for about 20 minutes.” The urgent care staff recommended immediate transfer to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where a dedicated team of pediatric orthopedic experts takes care of thousands of children with broken bones every year. “All children with broken bones—whether they need surgery or not—benefit from seeing a pediatric specialist,” says Robert M. Kay, MD, Medical Director of the Children’s Orthopaedic Center, which has been consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best pediatric orthopedic programs. “Our entire staff is incredibly experienced in caring for children, and that makes all the difference in the outcome.” That’s not the only difference. “Children’s Hospital took what was an unexpected event for us and made it so much easier with their knowledge and their procedures,” says Parker’s dad, Justin. “As a parent, you hope you never need Children’s Hospital, but you’re relieved you’re there.”
Kids Come First
Justin and Christy especially appreciated that they were “Mom and Dad” to the hospital staff, who made Parker their No. 1 focus and empowered her by asking for her opinions. “They brought the calm,” says Christy. The pediatric facility has been designed with kids in mind—from the bright primary colors to the fish tanks, cartoon characters, and videos—but the child-centric philosophy goes beyond the physical environment. “We involve the child in what is happening to them and treat them respectfully,” says Dr. Kay. Parker couldn’t agree more. “The doctors and nurses were really nice,” she reports. In any given year, 2-3% of children sustain a fracture, and they are the fourth most common injury among children under the age of 6. The most common cause: falls, with the most serious breaks, usually resulting from car crashes. The Children’s Orthopaedic Center’s the full spectrum of broken bones, from commonplace to complex. The staff includes pediatric orthopaedists and surgeons, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiology technicians, and cast technicians. Also on hand are in-house occupational therapists and orthotic specialists, who provide custom-fitted crutches, boots, and braces as needed. The Fracture Clinic handles care for patients with broken bones who don’t require surgery, which accounts for about 95% of cases in the Children’s Orthopaedic Center. Parker was part of the other 5% who need surgery and are treated by the Center’s pediatric orthopedic surgeons.
When surgery is the answer
“You train to become a pediatric orthopedic specialist to be able to identify that small percentage of cases where a broken bone needs surgery, and without that intervention, the child could lose form and function of the limb,” explains Parker’s surgeon, Nina Lightdale-Miric, MD, Director of the Pediatric Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Program. All of that expertise is critical because children’s bodies are still developing, making them particularly vulnerable to fractures that can occur at or near the growth plates at the ends of bones, which Dr. Lightdale-Miric calls “bone-making factories.” While a child’s bones are more fragile, they’re also more rubbery than an adult’s. They crack but don’t separate. “They’re like brand new green twigs,” says Dr. Lightdale-Miric. “At the end of the tree limb, the twigs bend but don’t snap.” The danger is, if a fracture is severe or a growth plate doesn’t heal properly, the bone could stop growing or grow at an angle, creating a disability. “If you are not a kid specialist, you can’t see what a kid specialist can see,” says Dr. Lightdale-Miric. “The more experienced you are, the better you are at getting children back on the playground and onto successful lives.”
An exceptional level of care
Parker went into surgery the morning after her arrival at Children’s Hospital and everything went smoothly. She even got to pick out the colors of her cast—pink, which is her favorite, and orange, her mom’s, with a sprinkling of purple glitter. At every step, the family felt well cared for. A discharge nurse expedited medication at the hospital pharmacy and gave the family a schedule of follow-up visits over the next eight weeks. Volunteers walked the parents everywhere they had to go throughout the brief stay. “We weren’t some special case,” says Parker’s dad, Justin. “This is the level of care everyone receives.” “We can’t thank the staff enough for all the thoughtful ways they cared for Parker and for us,” adds Christy. For Dr. Lightdale-Miric, gratitude goes both ways. “Patients like Parker make me a better doctor,” she says.
Looking forward
Because Parker was seen at an experienced pediatric institution, she and other kids like her enjoy certain advantages. Patients treated by the Fracture Clinic’s experts typically wear their cast for a shorter amount of time and have a better chance of regaining full motor function and a lower risk of needing additional surgery. “The next week they checked on me, and the next week they checked and the next,” Parker said in a video she recorded to help other children not fear the hospital. Parker is happily back on the playground today, stronger than ever. “It’s okay now,” she says of her arm. “Is this cast going to go on my arm again? No thank you, cast!”
