DeLoach Has Been Open About Her Family’s Journey
While Fletcher may be the newest addition to the DeLoach household, family has long been at the center of the actress’ life. Over the years, DeLoach has been candid about her family’s difficult health journey involving her son and the profound impact it had on her life.
In a social media post celebrating the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ 125th birthday, the “Curious Caterer” star recalled the moment her family walked through the hospital doors “scared, searching, hoping someone could save our son’s life.”
“Happy 125th Birthday, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles,” DeLoach wrote in the caption of her April 1 Instagram post. “Eight years ago, I didn’t know this hospital existed. Today, I can’t imagine our lives without it.”
She continued, “We walked through the doors of CHLA for the first time… scared, searching, hoping someone could save our son’s life. What we found inside those walls wasn’t just medicine. It was people. Extraordinary, devoted people who had decided that saving children was their life’s work.”
“Eight years later, CHLA has become a second home. Not because we wanted it to be, but because the people there made it feel like one. It’s not just what they do, it’s how they do it. They saved my child’s life and inspired me to change the way I spent the minutes and moments of mine,” the actress wrote.
DeLoach went on to explain how she was inspired by the world-class care her son received there, so much so that she joined the Board of Trustees because she wanted “to give back to a place that had given us everything.” This journey eventually led her to serving as Board President for three years, which she said was “one of the greatest honors of my life.”
