Thank you IHOP for your support of local children!

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital Ambassador Noah visited IHOP in Hartsdale this month to thank staff and donors for their support of IHOP’s annual fundraising campaign. Throughout the months of January and February, IHOP restaurants in Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, Ulster & Westchester Counties supported Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital with their miracle balloon campaign. Your support helps Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, a member of the WMCHealth Network, provide critical care to our region’s sickest and most seriously injured children at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Thank you to all customers and staff at IHOP for your generosity and support!

Noah’s Experience at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital:
At 3 years old, Noah was having trouble breathing and his family rushed him to a local hospital. He was swiftly transferred to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, where they diagnosed him with severe asthma triggered by allergens and any virus he is exposed to. Now, every time Noah catches a virus or a cold, he is admitted to MFCH, where they monitor his oxygen levels and treat his asthma. Despite the challenges he faces with his asthma, Noah has a positive mindset and is always seeking to uplift those around him—including the doctors and nurses of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. He is an honor role student, an avid gardener, and an advanced lego builder.
