Over the last year, nearly 1,000 children felt the impact of our child life team.
They turned IVs into the world’s tiniest straw and syringes into a paintbrushes. They played music in exam rooms and told imaginative stories during MRIs. They read books to help kids understand what’s wrong and played familiar games to make them feel at ease.
Most of all they helped these children and their families cope with the emotional stress and uncertainty of illness.
The tools of this trade look different from the medical equipment our other caregivers rely on. From items to distract kids during procedures to incentives for meeting goals, our child life team needs your help.
- Donate an item from their the Amazon wish list. Please ship directly from Amazon.
- Make a monetary gift to Sanford Children’s. Your donation will support the child life team and other needs for our pediatric patients.
All items must be new and be able to be sanitized. These standards are more important now than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you have questions about a gift, please contact the Foundation team at (701) 323-8450.
