On behalf of the Child Life department I would like to thank you for your support. The child life program at Sickkids focuses on the social and emotional impact that hospitalization and illness can have on patients and families. Child Life Specialists use play and child development knowledge to promote effective coping strategies, prepare and educate children about their hospital experience, and create a normal environment where can grow, learn and play. Your donation of the mosaic workshop made it possible for us to bring joy and comfort to the patients at Sickkids. The patients loved creating their mosaic masterpiece. It was great for us to be able to provide them with a fun activity that took their mind off being in the hospital and let them be kids! Your gifts and thoughtfulness enhance the hospital environment for the patients here at Sickkids and enable us to create opportunities for children to learn, grow and to be a child. Thank you for believing in Sickkids!!
