Help me deliver a PlayStation 5 to Temple Street Hospital

Donation protected
This Christmas, I’m raising funds to bring a PlayStation 5 to the children staying in Temple Street Children's Hospital to share and have fun with. Having spent time there with my own son, I’ve seen firsthand how moments of fun and distraction can bring light to even the darkest days of a hospital stay.

If donations exceed the target amount, I’ll round it up to the cost of another PlayStation - so the kids might get more than one console to share and enjoy!

As a gamer and someone who has studied the cyberpsychology behind gaming, I know it’s more than just entertainment - it’s a proven tool for wellness. Research shows that gaming can reduce stress, improve mood, and even aid in pain management by providing an immersive escape from tough realities.

For children in the hospital, gaming can restore a sense of normalcy, control, and achievement during a time when much feels beyond their reach. Games also create opportunities for connection, combating loneliness and fostering moments of joy and shared experiences. They need to smile.

With your support, I want to purchase a PS5 from Smyths Toys and deliver it to Temple Street in time for Christmas. Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring the psychological and emotional benefits of gaming - and much-needed fun - to children who truly deserve it.

Together, let’s give these kids the gift of escapism, connection, and a brighter, more joyful holiday season. ❤️
