HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Hospitalized children need toys for play year round. TCH patients range in age from a few hours old to nineteen years old.
New toys donated by community friends keep playrooms supplied and help make special celebrations possible. PLEASE DO NOT WRAP GIFTS. Safety regulations require that we check even labeled gifts for appropriateness.
VISITING: Because our patients are acutely ill, we are unable to allow donors to deliver gifts directly to the children.
The patients of Texas Children's Hospital thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness in remembering them.
