Long stays in the hospital can be really boring and even a little scary, especially when you’re not feeling well, alone in your room, or stuck in isolation.  

Every year, Starlight Deliveries sends hundreds of thousands of books, toys, games, arts & crafts, and other items directly to seriously ill kids. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners like Disney, Radio Flyer, WowWee, and others, we’re able to deliver these products at no cost to our network of more than 800 hospitals across the US.  

Each Starlight hospital is able to order exactly what they need, exactly when they need it, and in exactly the amount they want. Our custom, easy-to-use, and secure e-commerce platform makes it simple and fun to request Starlight Deliveries. 

Starlight Kid Genesis is a creative three-year-old with a lot of personality. She is battling leukemia and undergoing chemotherapy at Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center.

We first had the pleasure of meeting Genesis, who had been at the hospital for two months, when delivering backpacks full of arts and crafts to the kids at LAC+USC. Each backpack contained an arts and crafts project to decorate a visor. Genesis immediately began opening the stickers. She wore a beanie that said “princess” so it made sense that her visor was completely covered in crowns and castle stickers.

Activities like this keep boredom at bay and let kids just be kids - even in extraordinary circumstances.
