A great cause and a great hospital! I’m a big Sick Kids fan. I spent 2 weeks there fighting a bad infection when I was 12 years old. Although it was a rough experience, the staff there made things so much more bearable for me. I was hospitalized over my birthday and the nurses made me a cake, brought me a present and balloons, and sang happy birthday to me. It’s a great memory that is still with me to this day. Thanks for sharing your story. What a beautiful family photo that is ^.

This is a really great cause! I am also supporting and sending money back home to help an organization and even though I have a very meager income, I still make sure that I am able to give even just a little amount, because I know it will go a long way. I’d like to do what you’ve suggested that instead of bringing gifts/toys as birthday gifts, I’d ask them to donate to Sick Kids. That would really make me happy and many kids as well.

Reading this again, Maya. When I think of Sick Kids, I think of all the amazing things they do for little ones. I was so surprised when we had our monthly visits to Sick Kids when Little One was a baby. They try to make it a happy, bright place when I thought it would be a place of sadness. May this year’s fundraiser be a great one!

Fabulous cause! So sad to see children not be able to just run about and be free with other kids, rather than being stuck in a hospital. I hope this year’s fundraiser is a big success!

SickKids is a great thing to support, the hospital helped my nephew while he was sick when he was younger.

We love supporting Sick Kids (and Mount Sinai), as they were also part of Little One’s early days, weeks, months, and years. What a great cause. Thanks for posting this as it’s good to get the word out.

What a wonderful idea in supporting such a great cause in lieu of gifts. Maybe families in our area do the same thing when they host big parties. I stand clear of big parties but will consider it for the next one. I think doing this for the kids young is very important.

A great cause! They have helped my niece big time and am thankful they are so awesome. Love the birthday idea for a little fundraiser.
