Why do you need my support?

Donations fund programs that allow school children to envision their role in a clean air future, provide culturally sensitive and language appropriate materials to families whose children have asthma, and allows children with asthma to take charge of their condition by teaching them how to effective control and communicate with caregivers about asthma. Small donations are exceptionally powerful for BREATHE LA programs and services because they provide an intimate reach between donor and program effectiveness, and allow us to BREATHE as we grow to serve and ever-more diverse community.
BREATHE LA is dedicated to clean air and healthy lungs. BREATHE with us!
