This year my Child's Play Donation went to Children's Hospital Boston.
They sent me the following note:
"Thank you for your generous donation to Children's Hospital Boston
through Child's Play. This being our first year to participate in the
toy drive, we have been overwhelmed by the support and charitable
spirit of so many around the world. We have received an incredible
amount of wonderful movies, books, board games, video games and video
game systems. These donations will be distributed throughout our
hospital and will provide countless hours of distraction and
entertainment for so many of our patients during their
hospitalizations. Additionally, some of the donated items will be given
as gifts to our patients as they spend their holiday in the hospital.
We truly appreciate your support this holiday season."
