The foundation has done a great job in bringing joy to hospitalized children through their mobile playroom program. The foundation has been very successful in turning donations into results as over 90% of all donations go directly to the program. 125 mobile playrooms have been donates across the country and restocked with toys every few months.

I have known the Litwak family for years and what they have done with the Oscar Litwak Foundation to support and nurture families going through the unthinkable is amazing!!! Love this organization!!

Such a wonderful organization! The mobile playrooms are such a great idea and seems like something every hospital should have. Each playroom can make such a difference in so many children's lives and it is an achievable goal to have one in every hospital that wants one!

This is a truly wonderful charity. It is inspiring to see what can come from a tragedy and how parents can honor their child far beyond the time he was able to spend on earth. To make a child smile or be happy in the midst of a hospital stay is a gift.

My dsughter has been hospitalized 4 times and the mobile playrooms have really helped her stay at the hospital be less frightening and has given her something to do to pass the endless hours. What this organization does is fantastic for the kids, regardless of their age or diagnosis, they can all use the toys from the cart. I believe this is a great organization that should be supported.

This is a wonderful organization created by a truly inspirational family. It's very kid-friendly in that my children have been able to attend events and help out. It has become so special to so many kids at our school that they request board games be brought for the organization in lieu of birthday gifts to their own parties. The Oscar Litwak Foundation is truly remarkable and I hope to be a part of it for many years to come.

This non profit foundation is doing something that it's much better than giving clothes or food or even money to needed people.
They are giving happy moments to sick children when everything seems bad for them, they have the Oscar Litwak foundation cars that provides them with toys and activities that can be done in hospitals where normally they only have medicines, doctors , sick and sad people, and suddenly they found a place to play, to smile, to dream, to loose their minds and think happy toughts.

I'm a proud donor of the foundation and I have see how this play cars make the sick kids , their families and even the medical professionals spend a better time and have a happy moment.

I highly recommend anyone to help children in very hard moments enjoy happy ones.

Support the oscar Litwak foundation.

My cousin Sharon and her husband created this amazing foundation after they lost their little boy to cancer.
I'm so proud of how after living the worst experience in their life, they are trying to bring joy to other children in Oscar´s situation
Any foundation that is built to give very sick kids happiness, has my total support and respect!

The Oscar Litwak Organization is an amazing organization that gives children who are sick, scared, and lonely the opportunity to have fun and feel like children again. The mobile playrooms that this organization donates to hospitals are absolutely incredible both in their design as well as in what they accomplish. This is also an organization that is meticulously run by people who care deeply for the children they help. My family, including my young daughters, and I have donated to this organization and have participated in its fundraising activities and will continue to do so. Our only regret is that we do not have more to give.

This organization not only provides an invaluable service to children in hospitals, they make it very easy for children of all ages to be involved in the giving and learning. The concept of helping children who are unable to go to playrooms is unique and needed. The founders are dedicated and caring people who have worked hard to build a well run non-profit that honors their son's memory.

The best idea to help children in the hospitals. I know the founders since I was a child and unjust love and amazed for what they have done in the past years with such a simple idea that bring a lot if joy to the kid I a difficult time. Thanks oscar Litwak foundation because you make a difference!!!!

I joined a great foundation THE OSCAR LITWAK FOUNDATION.The foundation was created in memory of the beloved son Oscar of my good and close friends that I grew up with in Mexico,Sharon and Roberto Litwak.The life of their son was very short lived but left us great memories and life lessons.
The work the foundation is doing is unbelievable and very important for hospitalized children all over the world.I truly believe in their work, and that we can pay it forward. A smile on a child's face is a gift worth giving.Please go to www.oscarlitwakfoundation.org and take a look,lets help in every way we can.
Thank you, all the best Jessica Finkel

Amazing foundation with caring and dedicated people spearheading it! So many sick children in hospitals that are looking for something to cheer them up, thankfully the Oscar Litwak Foundation was formed with the purpose of bringing happiness and laughter during their hospital stays. Keep up the amazing work!

Such a simple concept that makes such a big difference for young patients to make their stay at a hospital a little easier. We have donated in the past and will keep donating to this great foundation.

I found the Oscar Litwak Foundation as a Child Life Specialist searching for programs to bring in-hospital for pediatric patients.....and have simply fallen in love with the program, how solidly established it is, and how invaluable it is to pediatric patients and instilling the value of play with medical staff working with pediatric patients and families. I've since become a board member and am involved in introducing Oscar Litwak Foundation to new hospitals and I support fundraising efforts.....I honestly can't say enough for the difference Oscar Litwak Foundation has been able to make for pediatric patients and taking the focus off of medical needs and making the experience more about children needing to play and experience "normal" childhood fun in the not-so-child-friendly world of medical care.

I have worked with the Oscar Litwak Foundation for several years now as a donor, a volunteer, and Board Member. It is an honor and a pleasure to work with both Sharon and Roberto Litwak who tirelessly, passionately, and professionally strive to improve the lives of hospitalized children daily. They provide hospitals with custom built, colorful mobile playrooms, or "crash carts," that are filled with toys, games, crafts, and more. Having been hospitalized as a child, I know what joy these playrooms can be. The Litwaks and their story are inspirational. I am proud to work with this foundation in every way I can.

I can think of no better way to honor your son than a foundation that aims to help children. I met Sharon and Roberto several years ago and once I heard the story behind OLF I was amazed. The foundation is truly a labor of love and the bulk of the work is done strictly by volunteers. Spending my first Big Sunday with them putting the toy carts together was a great experience. They were organized and the day went smoothly. It was impressive how many people showed up to help and how quickly we got through the tasks of building the carts. They have inspired so many people and often receive toys through children who donate their birthday gifts. Getting to see pictures of the children as they benefitted from the toy carts was one of the highlights of volunteering. Whether it's time or money that you have to give this is one organization that puts it ALL to good use.

My husband and I became involved with the foundation several years ago after becoming friends with Sharon and Roby. We fell in love with their girls, them and the memory of Oscar. We love the passion and dedication they have to this incredible foundation. Through their pain, they are doing there best to create joy around the hospital setting and maybe make these families lives a tad brighter by watching their children play and have something to do under such abnormal circumstances. We will continue to help facilitate the dream of having a cart in every hospital in every country in the world, and knowing Sharon and Roby IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!

I have volunteered at the Oscar Litwak Foundation (the "Foundation") for the past 4 years. Sharon and Roberto Litwak are extremely passionate, responsible and professional. They work tirelessly and thus inspire others to support their cause. The Foundation provides mobile playrooms to hospitalized children all over the world. Because of their personal loss, Sharon and Roberto have provided so much joy to numerous ill children. The mobile playroom is the bright spot in these children's day. All children need some play time. Everything that Sharon and Roberto do with the Foundation, from the fundraisers to the playrooms themselves, is at the highest level and quality. The Foundation is my go to charity for both my time and money.

Hearing Oscar's story the first time from Sharon made me want to get involved and stay involved for the duration. I never knew Oscar but I know that he had a purpose not only to Sharon and Roberto, but to the world. I knew that his legacy needed to live on in the lives of children that are hospitalized for periods of times and for many different reasons. Oscar's legacy allows these children to escape, even if for a brief moment to forget what they are going through.
I am proud to volunteer, get involved, raise funds and make a difference in the lives of hospitalized children, for Oscar and his family.
I am proud to volunteer for The Oscar Litwak Foundation and hope to touch the life of 1 child.

I have volunteered with this organization for many years. The work they do is amazing. They fill carts with toys and arts and crafts to send to different hospitals so children can have access to toys all the time, at night, when they are too sick to go out of their room, when there are no playrooms or playrooms are closed. They call them mobile playrooms.
They are very easy to work with and its very rewarding to see that the work you put in is really benefiting the children.
