Story

Every day there are more than 800 children coming to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Ambulatory Clinics and 300 children staying overnight in the inpatient rooms. 

Patient like Ryker, who have been coming to Children's since he was born. Now four years old and wanting to play with everything, every time he has to stay over night his parents know there will be toys to actively engage and entertain Ryker. Ryker knows when he comes to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh toys will be there too. 

All donations will be available for our Child Life Department to purchase new toys and gifts for our patients spending their holidays in Pittsburgh. Together our community can ensure that smiles and laughter fill the hallways at UPMC Children's this holiday season!

I grew up in Altoona, PA and my father battled addiction my whole life. I didn't get the toys and things that I wanted as a kid. I'm starting this page to try to give back to kids who are in my situation at the hospital. I hope to raise a bunch of money and thanks in advance for your help!

Peace and Blessings,

Ty Franklin
