Deliver the healing power of play this holiday season.

The video on the right is made of letters from patients at UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Every word of these notes reminds us what the healing power of play truly means.

For children facing long hospital stays or managing illness at home, play isn’t just fun - it’s a source of comfort and connection. It helps them build friendships, express emotions, and remember what it feels like to just be a kid.

At Project Sunshine, we make moments like these possible through volunteers who bring play, laughter, and joy to children everywhere. But for every child we reach, there are many more waiting for that same experience. This holiday season, you can help deliver those moments.

Your gift will bring smiles, connection, and healing through play to thousands of children who need it most.

Thank you drawing from pediatric patient at UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
