Of course, we always need donations, but if you want to give us something more tangible -- something we've been eyeing, something that'll improve the quality care we already offer kids here -- then you've come to the right place.
We've tried to eliminate some of the guess work in your gift-giving by providing several truly great ideas!
Below, you'll see items listed for purchase. Some help to entertain patients or educate them about their disease or upcoming surgery; others help to keep them comfortable as they grow stronger; still, others help parents and siblings deal with a child or sibling's hospitalization.
To arrange to purchase items or request more information, please call Karen Eisenberg at (585) 273-1462.
