During the month-long campaign, anyone can receive a free code to send their donation to the Children's Hospital, the organizers said.
The initiators of the campaign say that for any child, going to the hospital can be very upsetting, as they have to face unfamiliar surroundings and strange people, undergo various examinations and manipulations that can seem scary and be unpleasant. To encourage and reward both big and small patients for their courage, the Children's Hospital has for several years had a "Courage Box" from which each child or adolescent can choose a toy of their choice after an examination or manipulation.
To send a donation, you first need to fill in a form. A free individual delivery code will be sent to the email address provided, allowing the donation to be sent to the organisers of the campaign. The maximum size of the parcel is a packing case L (height 39 cm, length 64 cm, width 38 cm, but weight no more than 30 kg). When you arrive at the drop box, you need to select 'Send parcel' on the screen, then 'Send parcel with a pre-prepared address card', then enter the parcel number you received in your email and place your donation in the open drop box. All donations will initially be delivered to the Omniva warehouse and then handed over to the Children's Hospital.
The following can be placed in the boxes:
- Unused, small items (up to 10 cm) such as toy cars, dolls, figurines, small books or notebooks, pop-it or play dough toys, soap bubbles, key rings, stickers, etc.
The Courage Box must not contain:
- second-hand items (please note that items must meet high hygiene requirements in a hospital environment),
- damaged and unsafe for children (e.g. containing small parts, magnets, etc.),
- food (including sweets),
- items significantly larger than 10 cm.
