Imagine a pediatric clinic at Rebro where the shelves for toys and picture books are completely empty! Yes, you read that right – children who are already scared and sick in the hospital have no plush toys, crayons, or books to make their stay easier. The KB Zagreb Rebro clinic is calling on kind-hearted citizens to donate washed, clean, and packed plush toys, picture books, crayons, markers, and drawing paper. Donations can be brought in person on working days or sent via delivery services to Kišpatićeva 12, Zagreb, to the green building with a colorful children’s entrance.
Why is this important? Children in the hospital are already stressed due to illness and examinations. Toys and picture books are not just entertainment but therapy that helps them cope better with their hospital stay. But the shelves are empty! Is it possible that in the 21st century the clinic lacks enough resources or attention to provide basic things for children?
This appeal is a call for all of us to get involved and show solidarity. Donate plush toys, picture books, crayons, and markers – because every child deserves at least a little smile while in the hospital. Let’s not allow the clinic to run out of toys, as that would be like taking away a part of childhood in the hardest moments.
If you have plush toys at home that are washed and clean, or picture books you no longer use, now is the time to bring them to Rebro. It doesn’t take much, just a little goodwill and desire to help the youngest. And if you’re creative, you can also bring drawing supplies – crayons, markers, paper. All this can be a light in the dark hospital days.
Just imagine how much happier children would be to have something to hold, draw, or flip through while waiting for exams. This is not a luxury, it is a necessity. So if you’ve ever thought about helping, now is your chance. The pediatric clinic at Rebro is waiting for your donations. Don’t let the shelves stay empty!
And hey, if you have a funny or touching story about toys from your childhood, share it in the comments. Maybe your story will inspire someone else to donate. Because in this fight for a child’s smile, every bit of help is worth its weight in gold!
