As parents, we often find ourselves saying “no” more than we’d like. No, you can’t wear your summer clothes when it’s freezing outside! No, you can’t have breakfast for dinner after just having pancakes in the morning. No, just because you showered yesterday doesn’t mean you’re off the hook today if you’re muddy and fragrant! No, no, no!
But sometimes, saying yes feels amazing. Yes, you can have that new video game! Yes, you can adopt that adorable stuffed animal! Yes, I’ll get you that toy you’ve been dreaming of!
Sadly, many parents struggle to say those affirmative words, especially during the holiday season when wishes are high and budgets are tight.
Toys“R”Us and Toys for Tots: Spreading Joy
For over ten years, Toys“R”Us has teamed up with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to spread joy to the 16 million children living in poverty in the U.S. Through various fundraising efforts, they have raised an incredible $31.6 million and collected 3.75 million toys for children in need. This initiative is supported by the Toys“R”Us Children’s Fund, a charity linked to their mission.
Max-A-Claus: A Holiday Hero
This year, the iconic NBA star, Max Johnson, is stepping into the shoes of a holiday hero—Max-A-Claus—to encourage donations and help grant wishes for children in need. The #NoWishTooBig campaign aims to inspire families to join in the festive spirit and give back through Toys for Tots. It’s a heartwarming initiative, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to get involved.
Making Dreams Come True
Now, here’s the truly exciting part! Motivated by the wonderful stories of those who applied for the Thanksgiving Project, Toys“R”Us, along with Toys for Tots and our community at Home Insemination Kit, has come together to make this holiday season special for mothers and families facing challenges. We’re providing 100 lucky families with $250 gift cards to help their kids’ dreams come true. Just imagine the joy on those little faces come Christmas morning—I wish I could be there to witness it!
Even more astonishing, three exceptionally deserving families will receive a once-in-a-lifetime $1,000 Toys“R”Us shopping spree. Can you imagine the happiness that will bring? It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! Each of the 100 $250 gift cards will be mailed out shortly (recipients have been notified), and next week, the three families will embark on their incredible shopping adventure. I can hardly wait! If you haven’t heard from us and need assistance for your child’s gifts, you can apply for help through Toys for Tots here.
