Emily Meyer was just 5 years old when she was sent to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, on Christmas night. While she was recovering, someone from Child Life stopped by her room to give her a present. She and her mom said that they had already received some, but they insisted that every child would get a gift!

“The Child Life team explained that no child should be in the hospital during the holiday season, but if they are, they should feel the joy of the holidays while they are there,” Emily said. That moment made a lasting impact on her. She decided she wanted to help the charity provide gifts for kids who are stuck in the hospital over the holidays, so she started her own toy drive in 2010.

Emily’s Awesome Toy Drive set out to collect new, unwrapped gifts that would be delivered to sick kids, and it’s still going today! “We collected about 20 or so toys the first year,” Emily said. “Every year from then on, it just grew and grew. It just became this whole big thing.” Even the COVID-19 couldn’t keep her from her mission! She is celebrating her 10th year of helping sick children by matching last year’s donations of $2,500.

In order to hit that goal, she started collecting toys way back in the summer months and created an Amazon wish list to give people a free delivery. Many kids in hospital will receive a present this Christmas, and it’s all thanks to Emily’s efforts! Even better, Emily’s parents helped her deal with the toys, and they loved it just as much as Emily did.
