An Ipswich building firm is hoping to donate "mountains" of toys as part of a Christmas gift drive.
SEH French is supporting Danielle Tucker’s Spread Some Joy Donate a Toy campaign for the fourth year running.
The campaign sees Danielle and her family donate hundreds of toys to Great Ormond Street Hospital, which cared for her daughter Eva before she died at six and a half months old in December 2017.
Danielle said the annual delivery day is a magical moment for families.
"We will always be indebted to Great Ormond Street for the love and support they gave us.
"They effectively became our family.
"The toy drive is there for the children and families who can’t be home for Christmas – to share some joy in memory of Eva.
"It gives us a chance to focus on something really positive and to do something we know she would love."
Items donated each year range from sensory toys for babies to jewellery kits for young people.
Many of the gifts are collected at SEH French’s office before being delivered to the hospital by Danielle and her family in mid-December.
Liam Bosworth, supply chain manager, SEH French, said: "It’s been four years since we first heard Eva’s story and we’ve been in awe of Danielle and her family’s strength and will to help others.
"Every year we contribute mountains of toys and gifts to the campaign – it’s honestly one of the highlights of our year.
"A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us to date."
Toys – which must be new to meet the hospital’s infection control rules – can be donated in person at SEH French’s office at 30 White House Road before December 5.
Monetary donations, along with an Amazon wishlist of suggested gifts, can be found at: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/spread-joy-this-christmas-with-sehfrench.
