How might this help your community?
Many hospitalized children feel isolated and feel as though they're missing out on their childhoods. They want to spend time with other kids their age but rarely get the opportunity to.
This event will help hospitalized children bond with other people, helping them feel less alone. They can engage in some of their favourite hobbies and games while making new friends.
