Help Children

Purchase any Play item as a donation and we deliver it! Child Life at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital helps children cope with the adjustments of being in a hospital by providing a variety of play experiences. These activities help both children and families gain a greater understanding of medical procedures, which helps reduce stress and fear of the unknown. Through play, the child life specialist helps facilitate the emotional and social growth of a child during the crisis of illness. YNHCH Child Life operates solely on donations. Any play item on our site with the special Child Life designation, may be purchased and donated to this program. While shopping, add one of these items to your cart. We will gladly deliver it to the Child Life program and it will be given to a child in the hospital who truly needs a smile.
