JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A van delivered 14 large moving boxes of toys and two bikes to Wolfson Children’s Hospital on Thursday morning.

The hope is to bring some normalcy to children who won’t be able to wake up in their own beds this Christmas season by gifting them the toys that were collected.
Sarah Lapcevic is a certified child life specialist at Wolfson, a Family Focus Partner. She said the hospital truly appreciates all of the donations.

“These gifts mean the world to patients while they’re here at Christmas, because they don’t have a whole lot of control while they’re here at the hospital,” Lapcevic said.
