A Sprinkle of Sunshine for the Children's Ward

October 2, 2026

Being in the hospital as a kid can be tough. So this month, for our balloon subscription delivery, we sent a little sunshine floating down the halls of the children's ward at the Reading hospital.

On October 2, we delivered feel better balloons, smiley faces, unicorns, and Spider-Man, each one anchored by a Teddy the dog balloon weight and carrying a tag that says, "You are capable of amazing things." Because every kid in that ward truly is.

Foil balloons with unicorn, smiley face, Feel Better, and Spider-Man designs stand in a room, each ribbon tied to a hand-written card. — Every balloon got its own card.

Here's our favorite part. One of our Sunshine Squad volunteers, a first grader who wanted to spread kindness, hand-wrote a card for every single kid. Little hands, big heart, and envelopes full of hellos, hearts, and sunshine.

A balloon can't fix a hard day. But a small sprinkle of sunshine can lift spirits, and we're so grateful we got to deliver some. 💛

Hand-written card envelopes decorated with small hearts and messages like Sending Sunshine hang from balloon ribbons. — Written by our first-grade volunteer.
