Abby's Birthday Wish List
Each year during Abby’s birthday month we collect items needed for Child Life supporting local military children fighting cancer. These items are used throughout the year to help make many kids clinic or inpatient stay, a bit brighter.
This year we have two lists due to availability and good pricing. You will find items needed for all ages 1-18! Board games, crafts, Nintendo Switch needs, cars, action figures, toys, prize box items!
Please see our Amazon wish list or Walmart wish list to purchase items. Both lists will be shipped to our foundation address to deliver together at the end of September. Contact Patty at patty@abbyslegacyfoundation.org with any shipping questions.
