Vikki this is a great idea, you are an incredible person!

I have shared this on Facebook and is going to give some of the children my kids' presents. My daughter just turned 2, she got 5 dolls in total for her birthday and Xmas presents! And my son who is 3 has too many cars too.

I've done a couple of cards. (The stats update page doesn't seem to be working).

this brought tears to my eyes. We have one daughter and just the thought of her being ill is inconceivable to me _pale_ I have already posted this to my fb and have a few gifts in mind. Thank you so much for bringing this to my and many others attention. Happy New Year everyone, let's make it a good one and share some love :T

This is such a brilliant cause, and I'm wanting to help. But I need some help too. I have some old toys that I want to pass on to children like these, but the toys are too heavy or large to post. Does anyone know a way to donate directly, such as to a children's hospital ward or home? I don't want to just give them to a charity shop, because although they'll sell the toys and make some money, I'd like some children to benefit directly. I live in the Huddersfield area, so any local information would great. TIA

I sent one off this morning with a card and kindly intended but unsuitable gift for me (20) from my younger sister - a sew together pink foam handbag! I hope it brings them happiness.

Thanks for posting this link. I shall pass this on at school and church and will happily post things regularly.

Thank you everyone!

Just looked through all the childrens' info and have a list of children to write to and sent little gifts to! I've come across this site before and have been putting aside little gifts and things with these children in mind so this week I'm going to make a start really personalising everything and sending them out

I work in a hospital and I know our childrens ward were asking for people to donate DVDs recently, and I think we do accept other other donations directly. Give your local hospital a call and see if you can speak to someone on the paediatric ward about it!
