From our volunteers to our hospital partners, each toy is given with a child in mind. And on a treatment day, a nurse can place a little comfort directly in their hands.

This illustrated story shows why your support matters. Thank you for helping Maxwell’s Toy Box deliver moments of joy to children undergoing cancer treatment. ❤️
