IMPACT

At Carter’s Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting children going through cancer treatment or hospitalization in Southern California. We provide new toys, books, blankets and more. Below are four ways your donations are bringing tremendous benefits to these brave children.

DISTRACTION - Toys can provide sick children with a source of entertainment and distraction from their illness, helping to alleviate boredom and anxiety during treatment or hospital stays.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT- Comfort items like blankets or stuffed animals can offer emotional support, helping children cope with the stress and discomfort of their medical conditions.

SOCIAL INTERACTION- Toys and books can promote social interaction and bonding with family members and healthcare professionals, fostering a sense of connection and normalcy.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK- Receiving a new toy, book, blanket, activity book, or similar item can provide a sense of normalcy in an otherwise uncomfortable environment, and improve their overall well-being, which can have a positive impact on their recovery.
