Making a hospital room feel like a home during the holidays may be unrealistic, but a smile or laughter is still possible with the gift of a toy or activity. Snowflake Village is a donation-driven “toy store” inside St. Louis Children’s Hospital seeking new, unwrapped toys. These children and their families, many of whom are up against significant odds, greatly appreciate the gesture no matter the size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reason We Chose St. Louis Children’s Hospital<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, our son, David Schaefer, was born with rare and severe medical birth defects which required him to remain in the NICU in St. Louis Children\u2019s Hospital. David, unfortunately, lost his battle with the illnesses in early 2016 but he continues to live on in our hearts and memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our time at St. Louis Children\u2019s Hospital, we met many other families whose lives had been affected by the illness of their child. Going through this experience was the most difficult time of our lives. However, we are blessed to be in a position to give back to those who helped David and other children like him. This is why we choose to benefit St. Louis Children\u2019s Hospital with this toy drive. With your participation and donations, together we can help to improve the lives of these children and their families during the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
