About Me: Please include your name.: From our Founder:
I felt I had to start a project like this when I read a "Weekly Reader" in school and learned about the "orphans" in Chechnya and Sarajevo. I came home and told my mom to pack up my toys we had to send them to the orphans because some of them didn't even have one doll or truck or anything. Of course she didn't but what she did do was let me pull half of my toys out and gift them to needy families right here in Pittsburgh. Since 2001 we have gifted 215 children items that they really have truly needed and even a few, with what they wanted including bedding, clothing, toys, outerwear, bikes, and food. Last year was our biggest Christmas yet, with 32 children, however we also helped by placing books and toys at different doctor's offices throughout Allegheny County that are ability and age appropriate for all children. We also always keep a few things in reserve in case someone contacts us in dire straits for the holidays. Nominations are taken every year until November 11th and families are announced on my (Gabe's) Birthday the 15th of November.
