Shop for Your Child. Fund Joy for Another.
Toys, faith items, and gifts your family will love.
How your purchase gives back
EVERY ORDER FUNDS A BRAVE BAG
You keep every toy you buy. Your purchase funds a Brave Bag, a care package for a child receiving chemo treatment.
Your child smiles
Keeps the toys, books, and gifts you picked, shipped right to your door. Yours to keep, always.
A child in chemo gets a Brave Bag
A Brave Bag is a care package of comfort and courage for the long days of treatment, funded by your purchase and delivered through Maxwell's Toy Box.
Common mix-up: the toys you buy never get sent to the hospital. Yours stay with your family. Your purchase funds a separate Brave Bag for a child in chemo.
How Your Purchase Helps
At Maxwell’s Toy Shoppe, every toy you bring home sparks joy in a hospital room where brave kids are undergoing cancer treatment. We partner with small, heart-led toy makers who obsess over every detail — thoughtful design, safe materials, and craftsmanship built to last.
And here’s the best part: 100% of the proceeds go straight toward delivering toys to children on their treatment days. Your purchase supports:
A brand-new toy for your home
A second, brand-new toy delivered to a child in cancer treatment
Delivery to our four partner hospitals across Chicagoland
Year-round support for children and families navigating cancer
We serve children ages 0–19 receiving cancer treatment throughout Chicagoland — bringing comfort, play, and joy when they need it most.
Together, We Can Deliver JOY!

Curated with Care by a Cancer Mom
Our toys are thoughtfully selected by a mom whose son, Max, was diagnosed with leukemia at just the age of two — chosen to brighten hospital days and remind kids they’re more than their diagnosis. -
