Starlight-in-a-Box

Starlight In A Box is a unique program that offers a medical worker the opportunity to provide activities to either a group of children or just one child. Individual themed packages (such as scrapbooking, painting, make your own teddy bear etc.) can easily be distributed to children during a hospital party or to a child in isolation to help provide an afternoon of fun and distraction.

"Thank you for your continued commitment to the Hospital Happenings program and to Children's Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre. These packages are truly magnificent providing children and youth with lots of fun, distractive and entertaining items. Our children and youth have been overjoyed by the kindness and thoughtfulness of these special gifts. They particularly liked the art supplies (eg. T-shirt). Thanks so much for putting these packages together with care and compassion! Your generous donations are valued and cherished by all. " Michelle Wilband,
Coordinator, Child Life

"I just wanted to write to you again and tell you how much the kids on our ward are loving those "Be An Artist" kits. I have already given quite a few out, and I have heard nothing but wonderful feedback from the children (and parents too!) about how fabulous the kits are and how great they are to pass the time in the hospital. They are great because designing the mugs and t-shirts aren't necessarily something they get to do very often, so it is something exciting that they can do while they are here." Laura Walter, Child Life Specialist Markham Stouffville Hospital
