Child Life Wish List

Christmas is right around the corner and the Child Life Department at Phoenix Children's Hospital is making preparations. We need your help to make Christmas special for the patients and families who will be staying with us through the holidays.

While we are in need of items in all age groups in both English and Spanish languages, we are in most need of items listed under "Infants," "Toddlers," and "Adolescents" as well as gift cards, holiday wrapping paper, tape, and ribbons. Additionally, the most requested items for each age group are in bold. Of course, we greatly appreciate all donations.

A few quick guidelines: Please make sure that all toys are new (because of infection control) and paints and glues are non-toxic. Please do not donate play guns or war toys, latex balloons, scary action figures, candy, gum, or other food.

To make a donation, please contact the Phoenix Children's Hospital Foundation at (602) 546-GIVE (4483).
