A hospital stay can be scary for a child. The right toy can make a big difference.

Through the Heroes & Helpers Toy Drive, you can help Connecticut Children’s Child Life team provide toys and activities that do more than entertain. These specially selected items help children understand what’s happening, cope with medical procedures and feel more comfortable during their care.
