Unsent Purim Gifts

Hello, On the eve of Purim last year, I received a donation of gifts for distribution to children hospitalized in hospitals. The courier was supposed to deliver it, forgot about it, and found it now. Of course, the sweets are no longer fit for consumption, and now he wants to do something instead, perhaps a donation. Should he donate a certain amount? According to the value? I would appreciate an answer. Thank you very much.

Hello, 

Use this amount for another activity to benefit sick children. Or send gifts to children this year instead of last year.
