​Continuing A Tradition...

 

2025 is our 19th year collecting new toys in memory of our son, Westyn Robert Genens.  Westyn was born with many Congenital Heart Defects and underwent heart surgery when he was 2 days old. Westyn is loved dearly by many and brought a smile to everyone.

​​

We keep his memory alive by collecting toys for hospitalized children during the holidays and all year round!

Recipients include:

 - Advocate Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL

 - UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Bolingbrook ER

 - Ascension St Joseph - Joliet Pediatric Comfort Cart

 - Silver Cross Joliet NICU and Pediatric Unit​

​

Providing toys to hospitalized children is crucial as it helps alleviate stress, promotes emotional well-being, and offers a sense of normalcy during their stay.
