This Christmas, we are bringing HOPE to A Place of Our Own, a Northshore Medical Day Care Facility that provides daily care for 19 medically complex children. We’re launching an end-of-year Giving Project to help provide adaptive play items and medical supplies that will directly support these incredible kids and their caregivers.
Will you help us fill their unique baskets? To make giving simple, we’ve created an Amazon Wish List where items can be purchased and shipped directly to us (BOH):
AMAZON WISH LIST
In addition to the Amazon items, we are also raising funds to purchase specialized adaptive switches and adaptive toys that aren’t available on Amazon.
🎯 Goal: $1,000
DONATE HERE
Our deadline is December 15!
Lastly, the center is in GREAT need of two hospital beds which are operated electrically to ease in the aid and care of its older children. Should you know of one that is available and would like to donate, please reach out to us.
You’re Also Invited!
All donors are welcome to join us for the delivery of toys on December 22, 2025 (time TBD). We’d love for you to see the joy your kindness brings.
