Dayton Children's wish lists
Our child life team has created multiple Amazon wish lists for areas throughout the hospital allowing you to shop for the specific items needed at this time.
While items can be purchased from any retailer, not exclusively Amazon, when you shop these wish lists the items will be mailed directly to the hospital making it easy for you and our child life team!
Gifts received that are not included on the approved list(s) of items may be redirected to one of Dayton Children’s community partners that can more appropriately share the gift with a child.

PICU (pediatric intensive care unit)
Our most critical patients are cared for in the PICU. Items on this wish list help support families during what is often a traumatic time.
hematology/ oncology
Items on this wish list help support patient families who are dealing with the diagnosis of a blood disorder or childhood cancer.
books
We utilize books throughout all units of the hospital and due to infection control we cannot reuse books; therefore, we always have a need to stock our library! By donating new books from our wish list, you are helping us to keep a consistent stock of books for patients of all ages.
