Lily’s Hope

Thank You for Visiting The Lily’s Hope Virtual Toy Drive Page!

Hi! My name is Hannah McLaughlin and I am the founder of Lily’s Hope. I met Lily four years ago and we immediately became best friends. I was so beyond touched by Lily’s strength and courage as soon as I met her. I created the Lily’s Hope page to honor her memory and keep her legacy alive. 

Lily’s Story:

Lily Constance Weaver was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, at age 10. She was a huge advocate for childhood cancer and worked with many organizations to fight for kids like her. She was a national childhood cancer spokesperson for the Truth365 and Arms Wide Open. She spoke at many events in front of thousands of people including at Curefest in Washington, D.C. She was even featured in an HBO Documentary featuring boxer, Jarrell Miller. Lily loved her family, friends, makeup, shopping, Disney and favorite artists Ariana Grande and Madison Beer. 

Throughout her 8 year battle, a smile never left her face. She brought joy to so many others in her life and everyone who knew of her. Sadly, Lily passed away December 20, 2019 after her long battle. Her legacy will be kept alive forever.

Please help to brighten a child’s hospital stay through a tax-deductible donation in support of the Child Life, Education and Creative Arts Therapy team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

Thanks to CHOP, this special team provides care and support year-round to children and families in the hospital. With thousands of children visiting every year, the Child Life team has an ongoing need for toys, craft supplies, books, video games and movies.
