Every child begins their language journey with simple words like “mama” or “dada.” But for about 1 in 14 kids, learning to use words and sentences is much harder. These children may have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a condition that makes it more challenging for the brain to process language.

We are grateful to partner with Bags of Fun Omaha, whose generosity continues to brighten the days of our patients and their families. Hospital stays can be difficult, but thoughtful gifts like a new Barbie bring moments of joy and comfort when they’re needed most.

Meet Callie!💜 We met up with this 5 year old cutie at Boys Town Hospital. She was admitted for treatment of her dermatomyositis. Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory and degenerative condition that affects the muscles, blood vessels and skin. It was a great day to deliver joy and smiles, and remind little Callie to PLAY and be a kid!
Long days of treatment can be exhausting. Our hope is that a Bag of Fun will bring moments of distraction, laughter, hope and comfort during difficult days.
