Bringing joy and healing to children.
In pediatric hospitals across the state of Michigan.
We exist for sick kids.
Alice in Toyland serves inpatient children battling diagnoses during the holidays by providing gifts and comfort items. We bring joy and healing through the power of play - donating toys, games, and crafts to Child Life teams at pediatric hospitals to be given to children and families free of charge.
No strings attached.
We know there are many children fighting big battles this holiday season.
We hope they all win the fight. We hope they all go home.
But until then, we are here. With toys!
About Us
Our story begins with our daughter, Alice. After being diagnosed with cancer at a young age, Alice spent a significant amount of time within the walls of the hospital. We witnessed firsthand how challenging and isolating those difficult seasons can be, especially during the holidays when every child should be experiencing joy.
We believe all children deserve magical holidays - especially in hospitals.
