While similar drives for kids in the Capital Region are special, too, we targeted the Staten Island area in particular because it was so heavily devastated by Superstorm Sandy. Thousands of residents were displaced, and still are living in shelters after having lost all possessions.
That means these kids are going to wake up on Christmas morning, or throughout Hanukkah, to not only squalid living conditions and soup kitchen meals, but to another bitter disappointment without people like you.
We still are accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys (balls, cards, board games, dolls, stuffed animals, boos, etc.) until noon this Thursday.
Special thanks to these Terrace residents who have been so generous:
- Ginny & Tom Chichester
- Nancy & John Victor
- Terry Page
- Lorraine & Harvey Bailey
- Claire & Fil Steiner
- Anne Hunter
- Russ & Rose Golino
- Bob & Polly Hayward
- Jerry & Maryanne Gordon
- The Claeys granddaughters
- Joan Richardson
- Kay Duclos
- Trent Cox
April & Bill Dowd
