Monetary Donations: Monetary gifts give us the ability to provide activities and programs for patients and families throughout the year. Every item purchased by the Child & Family Life department for use with Mott patients & families is funded 100% through generous donations. Some examples of programs and services that benefit from your generosity are: the Hope Beads Program, Mott Siblings summer program, Skyline Café family dinner night, bereavement support services, and medical play and distraction services.
