Give the Gift of Joy: Together We Can Fill Hospital Toy Shelves This Holiday Season
This holiday season, Maxwell’s Toy Box is working to raise $25,000 by December 31 so that our four partner children’s hospitals never run out of toys. The impact of our Holiday Toy Drive will reach more than 5,000 children who rely on these moments of joy, and we can’t achieve this without your support.
For kids undergoing cancer treatment, just like my sweet Max, a toy is more than play — they’re part of healing. It’s something comforting to hold onto during long treatment days, when the hallways feel too quiet, when the world outside keeps moving, but children undergoing cancer treatment are confined to a hospital room. Play gives children a moment of hope, healing, and joy.
While most kids spend the holidays at home, many will spend them hooked up to an IV, waiting for test results, or trying to be brave through another round of treatment. Yet even in those moments, a toy can spark a smile.
A craft kit can fill an hour with imagination instead of anxiety. A sensory toy can calm a child who is overwhelmed. And a simple surprise can remind families they’re not facing this journey alone. Your donation puts these moments directly into their hands.
With your support, we can keep hospital toy shelves stocked with playthings, art supplies, and sensory items that bring comfort when it’s needed most.
These shelves empty faster than most people realize — especially during the holidays — and without the generosity of people like you, hospitals can run out.
No child fighting cancer should ever have to face a day without something to lift their spirits. And no parent should have to watch their child suffer without the small but powerful relief that play can bring.
Together, we can make sure hospitals never run out of toys — this holiday season and all year long!
Thank you for bringing joy this holiday season,
