Help Fulfill Children's Hospital's Holiday Wish List

Greenville's Children's Hospital is taking part in the launch of the first-ever online "crowdfunded" hospital gift catalog, just in time for Christmas.

Greenville's Children’s Hospital is taking part in the launch of the first-ever crowdfunded hospital gift catalog β€” GiveMiracles.org β€” as part of a national campaign led by the world’s largest crowdfunding-for-good platform, Fundly, and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Through GiveMiracles.org, individuals wanting to give back with their holiday gifts can purchase critically-needed medical equipment and medical care for children at Greenville Hospital System Children's Hospital.

Once donors choose their gift from the GiveMiracles.org catalog, ranging from comfort toys ($30), to a pediatric wheelchair ($970), to an entire hospital wing devoted to neonatal intensive care ($12 million), they will receive updates on exactly how their gift is being utilized to benefit local children with critical medical needs.

Individuals can also quickly and easily launch their own personalized crowdfunding campaign on the GiveMiracles.org platform to collectively purchase big-ticket, high-impact medical items for the hospital through small donations from friends and family via Fundly, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

β€œFundly is delighted to partner on Give Miracles with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals on this creative and meaningful way to concretely help children with medical needs this holiday season,” Fundly CEO Dave Boyce said in a relesae. β€œAs the father of six children, I deeply appreciate the tremendous importance of this effort to harness crowdfunding’s power to engage more supporters in the cause and to personally and directly connect donors with the hospitals and children who will be benefit from their generosity.”
