“As has happened so often during my son's treatment, I am astounded by the generosity of people. Thank you and your readers so much for Child's Play...”
“Our son was admitted to the UNC Children's Hospital with a severe outbreak of Staph Scalded Skin Syndrome. For the first time, we were on the receiving end of the donations that we had been contributing to for years...”
“It was frightening and painful, and nobody wanted to explain anything to a 5-year old. The thing that changed me forever, though, wasn't the surgery, it was the game cart.”
“I walked into a patient's room and he immediately started crying but when I mentioned that I had a Nintendo DS (from Child's Play a few years ago) to lend him, he smiled and calmed down immediately...”
“Thank you so much for the cart, TV, XBox, games, and controllers...I love that they can play with limited supervision, and we do not have to worry about anything getting broken or lost.”
“I've seen a lot of sick children, and I have heard them laugh, I've gotten hugs, and I've had some pictures drawn for me, but I have to say that the most telling sign of joy was remembering this boy's smile as we played and achieved together.”
