Donations will be accepted for "Miracles for Mikayla" between February 11 – 22. Those can be taken to Wayne Center Elementary School between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
*Safety and infection control standards are priority concerns. *Toys must be new and clean with no broken or missing pieces. *If stored, please be sure they were in areas away from contact with mold, mildew, and cigarette smoke and not stored in trash bags. *Toys made of materials that are easily broken causing possible sharp edges are not appropriate. *For the following brands of toys, please donate toys with few or no loose pieces such as pop-up toys or infant activity boards: Fisher Price infant/toddler/preschool, Playskool, Little Tykes, V-Tech musical, and Fisher Price activity gyms/toy bars. *No used or previously owned stuffed animals can be accepted. *Many of the patients have restricted diets; therefore, food and candy cannot be distributed. *All checks or gift certificates should be made payable to Riley Hospital for Children with a memo stating it is for the use of the Child Life Department.
