<p><em>捐赠帮助住院学生在学业上保持进展</em></p>
<p>, /PRNewswire/ -- 当贾斯廷·拉米雷斯在 13 岁时被诊断为白血病时，他的日子迅速被医院病房、静脉药物和长时间的治疗填满。在这一切中，有一件事帮助他重新找回了自我：学校。</p>
<p>为了支持像拉米雷斯这样的孩子们的正常感，沙漠金融基金会和沙漠金融信用合作社在 2024 年 1 月 29 日的特别仪式上捐赠了 142.5 万美元给凤凰儿童医院的 1 Darn Cool School。这个完全认证的 K-12 项目为任何在凤凰儿童医院接受治疗的学龄儿童提供床边和课堂教学，无论是住院还是门诊。</p>
<p>每年，有超过 2000 名儿童受益于该项目。八名硕士级教师帮助学生在住院期间和门诊就诊时保持学业进展，同时维持常规、联系和希望。</p>
<p>拉米雷斯在 2024 年 11 月被诊断后不久成为 1 Darn Cool School 的学生，在医院待了几个月，并在 2025 年通过每周多次的门诊就诊继续治疗。教师在他入院、输液和恢复期间与他合作，帮助他完成课程，获得学分，并在 2026 年 1 月从八年级升入高中。</p>
<p>“他们帮助我获得学分，因为要毕业需要足够的学分，” 拉米雷斯说。“他们首先关注我的学业，如果我需要帮助，他们总是在那里。”</p>
<p>拉米雷斯的经历反映了 1 Darn Cool School 的使命：为那些时间被医疗护理塑造的孩子们带来结构、联系和熟悉的常规。在他住院期间，教师在他感觉良好时与他在共享的教室空间见面，或者在他感觉不适时在他的床边见面。</p>
<p>“这让我感到自由，因为你可以走出房间，而不是感到孤立，” 拉米雷斯说。“他们会坐在你床边，这让我觉得自己是一个普通的、正常的人。”</p>
<p>拉米雷斯与 1 Darn Cool School 的教师莉迪亚·史密斯密切合作，她帮助协调他的家庭学校，调整课程并为他的学业进展辩护，同时他接受治疗。</p>
<p>“1 Darn Cool School 在患者不那么正常的时期带来了正常感，” 史密斯说。“我们能够成为学校和医院之间的桥梁，确保患者仍然参与他们的教育。这种一致感可以成为希望的灯塔。”</p>
<p>沙漠金融的执行副总裁罗恩·阿姆斯图兹表示，支持这一桥梁是信用合作社与该项目长期合作关系的核心。</p>
<p>“作为一个由教师创办的信用合作社，教育是我们的一部分，” 阿姆斯图兹说。“这一承诺确保在凤凰儿童医院接受治疗的儿童能够继续学习，与同龄人保持联系，并专注于他们的未来，即使在他们年轻生命中最艰难的时刻。”</p>
<p>1 Darn Cool School 完全由沙漠金融基金会、沙漠金融信用合作社、其成员和员工的捐款资助。</p>
<p>这 142.5 万美元的捐赠是沙漠金融在 2024 年宣布的对 1 Darn Cool School 的五年 500 万美元承诺的一部分。今年的捐赠使信用合作社在短短两年内达到了筹款目标的 70%。</p>
<p>“沙漠金融信用合作社的慷慨继续为我们服务的儿童和家庭打开可能性的大门，” 凤凰儿童医院企业合作、特别活动和赠款慈善副总裁蒂姆·哈里森说。“他们对 1 Darn Cool School 的承诺确保每位患者都能与他们的教育和未来保持联系。我们对这一合作关系以及他们年复一年为我们的使命带来的热情深表感谢。”</p>
<p>1 Darn Cool School 通过个性化的教学支持患者，帮助他们保持在年级水平，以便在治疗允许时更容易地重新融入学校。</p>
<p>对于拉米雷斯来说，这种支持使他能够在经历了一年多的医院学习后，重新与同龄人一起回到学校。</p>
<p>“我期待着认识更多的人，重新社交，” 他说。“他们帮助我来到这里。”</p>

</div><p>, /PRNewswire/ -- When Justin Ramirez was diagnosed with leukemia at age 13, his days quickly filled with hospital rooms, IV medications and long stretches of treatment at Phoenix Children's. In the middle of all of it, one thing helped him feel like himself again: school.</p>

</div><p>To support that sense of normalcy for children like Ramirez, Desert Financial Foundation and Desert Financial Credit Union donated $1.425 million to the 1 Darn Cool School at Phoenix Children's during a special ceremony Thursday, Jan. 29. The fully accredited K-12 program provides bedside and classroom instruction to any school-aged kids, both in-patient and out-patient receiving care at Phoenix Children's.</p>

</div><p>Ramirez became a 1 Darn Cool School student shortly after his diagnosis in November 2024, spending months in the hospital and continuing treatment through clinic visits multiple times a week in 2025. Teachers worked with him during admissions, infusions and recovery periods to help him complete coursework, earn credits and promote from eighth grade to begin high school in person in January 2026.</p>

</div><p>&#34;They helped me with my school credits, because to be able to graduate you need enough credits,&#34; Ramirez said. &#34;They would first focus on my schoolwork, and if I needed help, they were always there.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“他们帮助我获得学分，因为要毕业需要足够的学分，” 拉米雷斯说。“他们首先关注我的学业，如果我需要帮助，他们总是在那里。”</p>
</div><p>Ramirez's experience reflects the mission of 1 Darn Cool School: bringing structure, connection and familiar routines to children whose time is shaped by medical care. During his hospital stays, teachers met with Ramirez in a shared classroom space when he felt well enough or at his bedside when he didn't.</p>

</div><p>&#34;It made me feel free because you could go outside your room instead of feeling isolated,&#34; Ramirez said. &#34;They would sit next to you at your bed, and that made me feel like a regular, normal human being.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“这让我感到自由，因为你可以走出房间，而不是感到孤立，” 拉米雷斯说。“他们会坐在你床边，这让我觉得自己是一个普通的、正常的人。”</p>

</div><p>&#34;1 Darn Cool School brings a sense of normalcy into a not-so-normal time for patients,&#34; Smith said. &#34;We are able to be the bridge between school and hospital and ensure that patients are still engaged with their education. That sense of consistency can be a beacon of hope.&#34;</p>
