Our Story

As the Child Life Specialist at Seattle Children’s Hospital, I see firsthand how gaming technology can transform a child’s hospital experience. Our current gaming equipment is outdated and insufficient for the growing needs of our patients.

With this project, we aim to create a dedicated gaming therapy room equipped with the latest consoles, VR headsets, and adaptive controllers for children with limited mobility.

  • PlayStation 5 consoles for group gaming
  • Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets for immersive distraction
  • Xbox Adaptive Controllers for accessibility
  • High-performance gaming laptops for creative expression
“The gaming cart is the only thing that gets me through my chemo treatments. When I’m playing, I forget about the pain.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The gaming equipment will be used in our Child Life program to provide distraction therapy during painful procedures, as well as recreational therapy for children undergoing long-term treatment.

We aim to have all equipment purchased and installed within 4-6 weeks of full funding. The gaming room will be operational immediately after setup.

We provide quarterly updates with photos and stories showing the impact of your donation. All financial records are available upon request.
