In an effort to support our colleagues in California, we are providing a meaningful opportunity to assist nurses who have been directly impacted by the devastating wildfires. Your generosity can make a significant difference in their recovery and resilience. To maximize the impact of your contribution, PONL will match donations up to $1,000, and our generous friends at Guardian Nurses have pledged to do the same. This means that every dollar you give is tripled—for example, a $100 donation becomes $300 in direct aid to those in need. Your support helps provide essential resources, financial relief, and assistance to the dedicated nurses who have been affected by these disasters while continuing to serve their communities.
