Andrew's Story & Song
About Our Organization
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing special care packages filled with toys, crafts and books to children with life-threatening illnesses. Our mission is very simply to provide smiles to the faces of sick children. We feel children facing the most difficult of life's circumstances deserve all the special treatment they can get.
Quite often, because of expensive medical bills and equipment costs, as well as a lack of time, many parents cannot afford to provide special toys for their children to enjoy. When families are faced with the trying circumstances of dealing with daily challenges of the child's illness, it is very easy for everyone involved to feel isolated and without hope. Receiving a surprise package from Andrew's Toy Box helps both the children and their caregivers know they are not alone.
It is our greatest desire that our care packages provide a fun and welcomed diversion for kids who are enduring a long, gloomy hospital stay. We believe they not only make a positive impact but also bring great comfort to every child who receives them.
