William often received care at the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital and his parents would bring patterned silly socks to distract him. One silly sock would become a sock puppet who sang songs, played games, etc… while the other sock would often “hug” the IV site so that Wiggle Will didn’t remove it.
As a result, Wiggle Will’s Sock Bin has found a permanent home at the Golisano’s Children’s Emergency room to share a “smile” with other children. Will’s silly socks are also included in every care package given to caregivers by David’s Refuge. We hope that each caregiver smiles when they open the socks in their package, knowing they are being cheered on and thought of.
