Episode 4 of packing Joy Packages for children navigating childhood cancer. 💛📦

This package is for a 3-year-old little girl in treatment.

For this little one, we packed sensory toys along with Mickey and Minnie Mouse favorites to help bring some familiarity and comfort during clinic visits, chemo days, and inpatient stays.

Inside this package:
🧸 sensory toys for calming and comfort
🎀 Mickey & Minnie Mouse activities and toys
💛 bedside-friendly items for long hospital days

Children in treatment spend so much time in medical environments at such a young age. Sometimes having a favorite character, a sensory activity, or something familiar to hold onto can help make difficult days feel a little less overwhelming.

Thank you for helping us continue showing up for these families year-round. 🎗️

Episode 3 of packing Joy Packages for a family navigating childhood cancer. 💛📦

This package is for a 7-year-old boy in treatment and his 16-year-old twin brothers.

Every Joy Package is personalized around the child’s interests and the kinds of activities families know their kids genuinely enjoy during treatment days.

For this package, we included a LEGO set and a board game the brothers can enjoy together during time spent at home between treatments. We also added $25 Target gift cards for the twins so they could each pick out something for themselves.

Because childhood cancer impacts the entire family, we want siblings to feel seen and included while supporting their brother through treatment.

Inside this package:
🧩 LEGO sets and board games based on the child’s interests
🎁 $25 Target gift cards for his brothers
💛 comfort items for long clinic and chemo days

These packages help create moments of comfort, connection, and distraction during difficult treatment routines and long hours spent inside hospitals.

Thank you for helping us continue showing up for these families year-round. 🎗️

Episode 2 of packing Joy Packages for families navigating childhood cancer. 💛📦

This package is for a 6-year-old boy in treatment and his 10-year-old sister.

Every Joy Package is personalized based on the child’s interests and the items families tell us their kids enjoy most. Because during long treatment days, familiar comfort items and favorite activities can make a real difference.

Along with items for the child in treatment, we also include activities and comfort items for siblings who spend so much time in hospitals right alongside them.

Inside this package:
🧸 favorite toys chosen around the child’s interests
🎨 activities for both kids
💛 comfort items for long clinic and chemo days

Thank you for helping us continue showing up for these families year-round. 🎗️

Episode 1 of packing Joy Packages for children in cancer treatment. 💛📦

This package is for a 3-year-old little girl navigating pediatric cancer treatment.

Every item packed is chosen with hospital days in mind, from sensory toys and calming activities to bedside-friendly crafts and comfort items that can help make long clinic visits, chemo days, and inpatient stays a little more manageable.

Children in treatment spend so much time inside hospitals. Sometimes a small toy, coloring activity, or sensory item becomes the thing they focus on instead of the hard parts of the day.

This is what your support helps us provide year-round for families navigating childhood cancer. 🎗️

More Joy Package packing videos coming soon. 💛

Some days, sharing hope looks a lot like cardboard boxes.

Boxes waiting to be filled with comfort items, coping tools, books, activities, and small reminders that a child is more than their diagnosis. Hope takes many forms. Today, it looks like this. 💛

One box at a time. One child at a time. 💛

Two tired parents walk into Target armed with a shopping list, a mission, and probably not enough coffee.

Now the question is...

👇 How many toys do you think we purchased? Drop your guess in the comments!

Thank you, Target for helping us find the books, toys, and activities that will soon bring comfort and moments of childhood to children in cancer treatment. 💛

We asked the Maxwell's Toy Box team to introduce themselves...
Turns out scheduling the meeting was easy. 😂💛

A lot of people see the child going through treatment.
But siblings walk through childhood cancer too. 💛

The waiting rooms. The schedule changes. The hospital visits. The moments where they learn to grow up a little faster than they should.

Today on National Brothers Day, we’re celebrating the big brothers who love fiercely through all of it.

Max is already the kind of big brother who protects, comforts, and stays close to his little sister through every season of life. And watching that bond grow has been one of the beautiful parts of this journey.

To the brothers showing up for their siblings through hard days and hospital days alike, today is for you. 🎗️
