Emily Cashell's Holiday Toy Drive fro 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.
