Emergency Admit Kit

This program is designed to make admittance to the hospital a bit easier. Often times when a child is unexpectedly admitted to the hospital parents are unprepared for the stress and vulnerability that this situation brings. The Starlight Starbright ER Admit Kit contains a variety of products for children and their parents that will help to help ease some of the inconveniences upon admittance in an emergency situation.

Special Thanks to our Program Sponsor Toys "R" Us Canada . Through their commitment to provide both funding and awareness Toys “R” Us Canada sponsored more than 8600 kits which were delivered to 70 hospitals across Canada . Believing strongly in the magic of childhood, imagination, dreams and play, Toys “R” Us Canada has been a long-time sponsor of the Starlight Starbright Children`s Foundation.

Additional Thanks goes out to GlaxoSmithKline Inc. who generously donated children’s toothbrushes for the kits

“I wanted to thank your organization very much for the Emergency admit packages you donate. I was in a situation where my child was admitted to hospital directly from emergency, and found the kit very helpful and comforting! The age range covered was excellent to help entertain the older sibling too. As an employee of Alberta Childrens Hospital , I am proud to tell colleagues and friends about the positive contributions that are made to support the patient and their family. Thank you and keep up the great work!” Leanne Ravenhill RTR ,Diagnostic Imaging

“We would like to thank the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation and Toys R Us for the generous donation of Emergency Admit Kits that we recently received. Here at Etobicoke General Hospital approximately 85% of children are admitted through the Emergency Department. Many of them have spent a significant amount of time in Emergency before arriving to our unit. Most have not had a chance to go home and get the “little things” that can make such a big difference when admitted to the hospital. Due to our close proximity to the airport here in Toronto , we also see a variety of families who are arriving new to the country, these families in particular are in need of a variety of items. The Emergency Admit Kits that you have provided us with enable us to provide families with some everyday necessities such as a toothbrush and deodorant that we would not otherwise be able to provide. The games and other distractions items in the kit help to minimize the stress associated with being admitted to the hospital. Thank you for your donation and for supporting the children and families.”
