Every kid deserves
a chance to play.
We donate gaming consoles, games, and accessories to kids in hospitals, so a long day in a hospital bed can hold a boss fight, a co-op run, or a few hours that feel normal again.
Because play is medicine too.
What we deliver
Everything we give is brand new and sealed. Nothing used, nothing refurbished, and it arrives ready to plug in and play. No setup homework for nurses, no missing cables.
Consoles
Handhelds and home consoles for playrooms, wards, and bedside carts.
Games
Age-appropriate titles chosen with staff, heavy on co-op and short sessions.
Accessories
Headsets, extra controllers, charging cables, mounts, and cleanable covers.
Moments of escape
The real deliverable. An hour where a kid is a player, not a patient.
How it works
We keep the loop short: campaigns fund the gear, we buy it new, and it goes to a ward that asked for it.

LVLUP runs a giveaway campaign
We partner with LVLUP, who donate to Consoles for Hope on every giveaway campaign they run. That is how the gear gets paid for.
-
We buy it new and sealed
Nothing used, nothing refurbished. Every console arrives in the box with the cables and controllers it needs.
-
A hospital gets it, free
We hand off to child life teams and ward staff, who put it where it will get played the most.
“Play isn’t a distraction from getting better. For a lot of kids, it’s part of it.”
Our mission, in one line
We’re just getting started.
We don’t ask the public for money. Our partner LVLUP donates to us on every giveaway campaign they run. The best thing you can do is follow along, see where the consoles land, and tell one gamer you know.
