Newark Family Collects Donations For Nemours

When Tiffany Myers’ daughter was born with severe liver disease, she quickly learned what life was like at Nemours Children’s Hospital.

Tiffany’s daughter June was treated early on and diagnosed at Nemours and she will forever be grateful for their intervention.

“I will always want to go give back because I’ve been that defeated mother in a hospital room, helpless, and I know a little goes a long way at those times”, Tiffany said.

Last year they filled their box truck and trailer full of toys for children at Nemours.

This year they are asking for the community’s help.

They are inviting everyone out for a family fun day, all you have to do is bring a toy!

Enjoy a day of:

 Photo opportunities with Santa, Mrs. Claus & the Grinch
 Face painting
 Crafts
 Raffles with prizes such as toys, gift cards, personal training session and more!
 Hot Cocoa and snacks!
ALL FREE!They just ask that you bring a new, unwrapped toy, that will be donated to Nemours Children’s Hospital the following day.

Nemours Children’s Health

Nemours is redefining children’s health by looking beyond and improving children’s health where it starts — at home, in the community and anywhere you find children.

A lot of the programs, services and treatments offered are not covered by health insurance. Therefore, your donations and support are directly impacting a patient and their family.
