A visit to the hospital is a lot more fun when you can take a wagon where you need to go.
Hospital visits can be stressful for children and families alike. Hopping in a Little Victors Wagon at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital to get to a chemotherapy treatment or procedure can make the experience a little easier for young patients. And the wagons can make a trip to the hospital a lot more convenient for a parent trying to unload a car, watch siblings, and cope with the anxiety of having a sick child.
Little Victors Wagons will become symbols of hope and fun all over the hospital. Much less intimidating than wheelchairs, these wagons will be the preferred mode of transportation for children heading to appointments, the cafeteria, playrooms, and even those rolling out the door as they are discharged to go home.
Donors can name a wagon by making a gift to Little Victors Wagon Fund, which supports the greatest needs at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Upon request, donations can be directed to a hospital program or area of your choice.
