Amanda loved the wonderful people in Child Life at Jackson Memorial. Child Life Specialists try to make a child's stay in the hospital as stress-free as possible. They try to make sure there are games to play and that every child's educational and emotional needs are taken care of. We can tell you that Amanda spent many happy hours in playrooms in several hospitals, and the work that Child Life Specialists do is very important to us. If you would like to make a donation to the Child Life department at Jackson, please send the check to
