Emily Cashell's Holiday Toy Drive for Boston Children's Hospital & The Jimmy Fund Clinic

Hello Good People of Wilmington and Tewksbury,

It is time again for Emily Cashell’s Toy Drive for
Boston’s Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic. This is Emily’s Fourth
Annual Toy Drive and she wants to thank everyone for their support over the past
three years. Emily holds this drive because she remembers spending the holidays
at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic while her sister was
sick and fighting her winning battle with leukemia. Emily thought of how nice
it would be to help children and their families that are spending the Holidays
as a patient at Boston Children’s Hospital or receiving their cancer treatments
at the Jimmy Fund Clinic. Please consider donating a new unwrapped toy to
Emily’s Toy Drive and help bring a smile to a child’s face this Holiday Season.

I am very proud of my daughter Emily’s initiative
and dedication to helping out the Children and their families that are affected
by serious illness and injuries that are being treated at Boston Children’s
Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic. At 11 years old Emily has shown an
incredible amount of maturity through her actions and dedication to helping
others in need. Our family remembers how difficult a time this was for us while
spending the Holiday Season at Boston Children’s Hospital and shopping for the
Holidays was the last thing on our minds and near impossible to do. Thanks to
the actions of family, friends, and complete strangers our children were able
to celebrate our Holiday of Christmas. Santa must have made a direct trip from
the North Pole to our house. My wife and I still cannot express our sincere
gratitude to everyone that made our children’s Christmas so special at a time
when the world had almost stopped for us. Your
Donation of a New Toy or Gift Cards will take some stress off the parents that
cannot get out shopping for their family because of their child’s illness and
hospitalization during this Holiday Season.
