More Than Distraction—It’s Connection
When a child is navigating treatment, time can feel slow and rooms can feel small. Art supplies, toys, and play volunteers can make a hospital feel a little more like a classroom, a studio, a place for imagination.
“My daughter forgot about the IV for a whole hour while painting a dragon.” — Parent
