Wish List

Thank you for your interest in helping families at U-M C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. As one of the nation’s leading pediatric institutions, Mott provides services to seriously ill or injured children and teens. The Child & Family Life Program, with support from community donors, helps to make the stays of patients a little easier through play, teaching, crafts, art and music therapies, and medical play.

Here you will find items that are most used and requested by our Activity Therapists and patients. Before purchasing a toy or other in-kind gift, please carefully review our Toy and Gift Safety Guidelines. For safety and health reasons, we ask that all donations be brand new with store tags attached.
