Four years ago, much of Rylie's childhood was spent in hospitals, in and out of treatment after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.Now, at just eight years old, shes turning that experience into something powerful joy for other children facing long hospital stays during the holidays.During her treatment, Rylies family says toys played a big role in helping her escape the stress and fear of everyday hospital life. That joy was amplified by a Make-A-Wish experience that left a lasting impression.She had a lot of joy throughout her treatments and appointments, said her mom, Jordan Wolf-Snodgrass. Toys can take children out of that everyday hospital life.Inspired by that kindness, Rylie decided she wanted to give back. Last year, she collected 218 toys for kids on the oncology floor. This year, shes aiming even higher, 300 toys for children still going through treatment.So far, Rylie says theyre already close.I have 280 toys, Rylie said. The goal is 300.Each toy will be donated to help bring comfort and happiness to children spending the holidays in hospitals, kids just like Rylie once was.Watch: She once fought cancer Now this 8-year-old girl is bringing joy to kids still in the hospital Little girl gives back to hospital and patientsThey would have fun with them, Rylie said.
