Send us a smile: How families can help support Boston Children’s

As the world continues to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, many families are asking what they can do to support our hospital staff. While Boston Children’s is accepting donations, as well as sealed, unused N95 masks and other personal protective equipment, one of the simplest and most heartfelt things families can do is to send a message of support, says Katie Litterer, family partnerships coordinator and mom of two Boston Children’s patients.
