Wish List

Thank you for your interest in helping pediatric families at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.  As one of the nation’s leading pediatric institutions, Mott provides services to seriously ill or injured children and teens.  The Child & Family Life Program, with the support from community donors, ensures that gifts are given to hospitalized children and teens.

For safety and health reasons, we ask that all donations be brand new with the store tags still attached.

Before purchasing a toy or other in-kind gift, please carefully review our Toy and Gift Safety Guidelines.

What we need

Gift Cards
Gift cards enable patients and families who are staying at the hospital to obtain the items they most need.  Some gift cards ideas include, but are not limited to Target, Meijer, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, CVS, Toys ‘R Us, Borders, Aramark, Visa, American Express, or Mastercard gift cards

Gift cards to restaurants that deliver to the hospital are also welcome.  Some restaurants that deliver to the hospital include Domino’s Pizza, Mexican Grill, Jimmy John’s Sandwiches, and NYPD Pizza.

Phone cards are also appreciated, as they provide a way for patients and families to stay in touch with relatives and friends back at home.

Due to high gas prices, the need for gas cards for Mott patients and families has risen over 700% in the last four years.  Gas card donations assist patients and families who are financially strained in keeping their children’s appointments at Mott.
