Save ProutyBoston, MA, United States
25 Sept 2015
Hello supporters! We have been working with WBUR's CommonHealth for several months on a story about the planned destruction of the Prouty Garden. It finally aired last night! Check it out: http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2015/09/prouty-garden-childrens-demolition Please consider sharing the article with your social circles and encourage your friends and family to donate to our cause. With stories like these, we are continuing to spread the word about the unique healing nature of the Prouty Garden. This is NOT about sentimentality. This is about saving a place that has provided REAL HEALING to thousands of people over the past 50 years. By donating, you are helping us get the attention of political leaders, key hospital staff, and the public, but we truly cannot keep doing this without your ongoing support. Thanks to donations from caring Garden supporters, we have submitted a petition to the Massachusetts Attorney General, Maura Healey, asking her to uphold the terms of Olive Higgins Prouty's charitable gift. Your support has also helped us reach more supporters through our monthly Gatherings in front of the hospital, it has driven more people to sign our petition here on Change.org (now over 12,200 signatures), it has helped us inspire BCH physicians and healthcare staff to start their own special petition imploring the hospital to seek alternative locations for the new building, and it has helped secure media coverage like this week's story on WBUR. We are making a difference. We are spreading the word. But there is so much more we can do. And we can't do it alone. Please donate today to help save the "soul" of Boston Children's Hospital. Save the Prouty Garden!
