Cribs for Kids

Gifts, parties, gifts, crafts, gifts, baking, gifts, family, gifts—our kids learn patterns in pre-school, so it shouldn’t be that hard for us.

This year, we have a way to break out of the gift-getting pattern for our kids and establish a new pattern of giving to SickKids.

While we focus on spending time with our families over the holidays, we are reminded of the children who are spending the season in the hospital and once again, we are hoping to make their stay more comfortable. Our 2008 Crib Campaign raised $16,678, but that only made a dent in the hospital’s goal of $2.5 million to replace most of its beds, cribs, mattresses and stretchers. Parts for aging equipment can no longer be found, and the hospital is now spending funds to rent specialty mattresses, because the older mattresses contribute to skin breakdown, a condition suffered by many of the tiny patients.

So, in a continued effort to make the hospital stay more comfortable for these tiny patients, we need your help to raise $20,000 for 50 new therapeutic crib mattresses. We hope the SavvyMom community will come together again so we can reach our goal.

If only 400 of our SavvyMoms donate $50 each, we can get there. And if 1,000 SavvyMoms donate $20 each, we’ll meet it just as easily. So if you are looking for a way to help others this season, we hope you’ll consider helping SickKids.

Give now to the SavvyMom Holiday Crib Campaign and together we can work towards our shared vision of: Healthier Children. A Better World.

Please pass this on to family and friends to help, too. All kids should be able to rest easy.
