The visit was coordinated by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, an organisation that raises funds and awareness for 170 member children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada. The Reddit user said that if Chris Pratt's "heart of gold" inspired people, they could consider donating to a CMN hospital in their area. "I guarantee they could use your dollars," she added.

In a Facebook post, the hospital said: "Actor Chris Pratt, best known for Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy, took time out from filming his latest movie to visit with our ‪#‎AmazingKids‬ at Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital. Our patients were all smiles and we are so thankful to Chris for lifting their spirits by visiting and handing out Jurassic World goodies. Thanks to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals for coordinating such a special visit!"
