PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — To ensure kids with illness can celebrate the holidays, a toy store setup has appeared at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.<\/p>\n

It’s known as “Candy Cane Corner.”<\/p>\n

Comprised of donated toys and gifts, parents will be able to select items at no cost.<\/p>\n

“They can pick anywhere from 5 to 10 items and they can be for the patient that they have here. Oftentimes, our families have other children at home…because they’ve been here at the hospital, they haven’t had time to go shopping for them,” said Hillary Israel of St. Children’s Hospital for Children.<\/p>\n

“This gives them a little bit of normalcy back…it may look a little bit different, but we can at least help them try and still enjoy the holiday season,” she continued.<\/p>\n
