Our Mission
Bringing Joy and Comfort to Children in Hospitals
Aubriana’s Toybox is all about turning hospital stays into brighter days! Founded by Aubriana Spiering—a spirited young cancer survivor who knows how much joy a simple gift can bring—this nonprofit is on a mission to fill hospital rooms with laughter, comfort, and fun. By collecting and donating toys, Aubriana’s Toybox helps kids forget their worries and just be kids. With help from hospitals, local toy stores, and big-name brands, we’re creating a world where every child facing tough times gets a reason to smile—one toy at a time!
