This Christmas, Lia’s Wings is creating a Toy Library to bring comfort, joy, and a sense of home to the children we fly. For babies and children travelling for vital medical care, a fun toy or a familiar storybook can turn a stressful journey into a comforting adventure, and we need your help to make this possible.

Impact of the Toy Library
The Toy Library will bring joy and calm to children during what can be incredibly difficult times. Whether it’s calming a child’s anxiety or providing a moment of fun, these toys and books create a sense of comfort and familiarity when it’s needed most.
Everything in our Toy Library is handpicked to fit the unique needs of the children we fly and is suitable for all ages. For those who are in a particularly fragile condition, we’ve included small fidget toys to help keep their hands busy and minds occupied during their transfer.
For parents of premature babies, especially those born overseas, Lia’s Wings flights are often their first chance to bond with their baby. That’s why our Toy Library includes a range of books so that parents can read to their children, making those special moments even more meaningful. Reading to a baby not only provides comfort but also fosters trust and supports their growing brain.
For older children, there are lots of fun games and exciting books, full of adventure and imagination. These toys and books will help children feel more than just patients; they will get to be their fun, creative, sparky selves—something we love to see!
Each toy and book will be cherished on many journeys, shared by hundreds of children and their families. By donating to our Toy Library, you’re creating a gift that keeps giving.
Inspired by Lia’s Love of Books
Lia’s love of storytime inspires this initiative. We’ve included some of her favourite books in the Toy Library to share her joy with the children we fly. Titles like Bear on a Bike, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, On The Night You Were Born, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, and Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? will help create lasting memories for families on their journeys.
