East Haven High School Students Launch Toy Drive to Support Girl, 9, with Cancer

This Christmas, East Haven High School Students from SADD and HOSA collaborated together and are holding a toy drive.

SADD is sponsoring the drive in support of Madeline Guarraia, a 9 year old East Lyme girl who has cancer.

Madeline is unable to receive any more treatments. A bone marrow from her brother was her last hope. Madeline’s Christmas wish is that people donate toys to the hospital for children her age.

According to her dad, When she goes into the hospital she always looks around she says “Dad I feel sorry for that kid over there”.

HOSA is collecting toys for the Yale New Haven’s Children Hospital. It is the hope that the students will be able to deliver the NEW toys to the hospital. We hope that if possible that you can donate at least one toy in making Madeline’s wish come become a reality this Christmas for all the children.

Donations can be brought to the security desk at East Haven High School at 35 Wheelbarrow Lane East Haven, CT. The last day donations can be accepted is December 18, 2015. Once again thank you for your support and have a great holiday!
