Help Bring joy to Our Patients at Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware this Holiday Season!

We know how passionate our community is about giving back. Receiving this support is so important to help kids feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they heal in the hospital.  Financial donations are essential to help supplement the wonderful in-kind toys that we receive for patients during the holiday season.   

We give toys and other comfort items to patients and families every day of the year, and there are many things we need to buy specifically for patients admitted for extended stays.  We get to know our patients and families who are here and help replicate the same milestones and festivities they would have if they were at home. We buy things to celebrate birthdays; work on developmental milestones for babies; help soothe children with sensory needs; make tech accessible to children with mobility limitations; and so much more. Your financial donations help make these special moments possible and give children the chance to forget they are in the hospital, even if only for a moment.     

Please give today.  Your generosity means so much!   

There are many ways to help:

  1. Make an individual online donation - Our top choice!
    Help support the purchase of toys for our patients. Gather your friends, colleagues or family members to form a fundraising team and raise money as a group to help our Child Life Department purchase toys for our patients
  1. Purchase items for our patients from our Amazon Wish List
  1. Limited-time In-Person Toy Donation Drop Offs

  • We will only accept toy donations during a limited time, between November 27th and December 16th 
  • Signage will guide donors to our holiday donation drop off spot. Large group donations and toy drive groups must be scheduled in advance, before Dec. 1. 
  • Donors will be asked not to enter the hospital building to drop off toy donations. 
  • Please shop from the 2023 Holiday Wish List here.  
  •  

Thank you again for helping to brighten the days of the children and families we serve at Nemours Children's Hospital. Your support of our children and families is extremely meaningful to us.
