Seattle Children's Hospital

Normally, I look for small organizations to benefit - the ones that not many people have heard of but are doing great work. Seattle Children's Hospital is the exception. Even before I had kids, I was a fan. They took care of my neighbor growing up during a very scary time. Then they took care of my other neighbor's baby girl who, unfortunately, passed but they stayed in contact with my neighbor to support her. Then they saved my Russell with open heart surgery. All three kids have spent the night there at least once and I'm at Children's a lot between appointments for the kids and my parenting class. They've always been so nice and supportive.

There are so many ways to help patients and families. Below are just a few of the ways. See their Ways to Help page for more.

In-Kind Donations

You can donate gift cards (Target, gas, book store etc.), new toys, handmade blankets, and even Bibles. For their updated list, you can go here or shop their wish list on Amazon.

Guilds

You could also join a fundraising guild or a guild's event. They have a lot of events coming up all over the Puget Sound.

Summer Camp

They also have a summer camp for kids with its own wish list: Stanley Stamm Summer Camp.

 

Child Life Toy Fund

If you would rather let Children's do the shopping you can donate to their Child Life Toy Fund

 

Holiday Giving - Act Now!

If you're thinking about donating to Children's for the holidays, don't delay! Getting donations in early helps them plan and match patients to gifts.
