The Story Behind It All
I wanted to do a toy drive when I was 8. I don't really remember why. I think I read a really sad book and just thought "hey, I want to do something for these kids who don't get anything on Christmas". I felt really bad, getting tons of toys and nice food and having a wonderful family to share all the joy with on Christmas, when these kids have almost nothing. So, I decided to go caroling and raise some money. I bought 3 toys with the money I got, and donated the toys to the toy drive they have in Stone Road Mall. But I thought that wasn't enough, so next year I did something bigger -- I did a toy drive. I started to get my dad's company (RLB System Solutions) involved, and worked from there. Since then, I have gotten a lot of support from lots of different schools and businesses that are mentioned on the Thank You page. The first year I did it, I raised 1300 toys. The second year, I only got 1000. This year I hope to beat my record of 1300 and raise 1500 toys or more. All together with everyone's help i have raised over 4000 toys. I hope you will help me and the deserving kids out there, by donating a new unwrapped toy. Thanks ... and that's how it all happened. |
