"Its been a tough year for all of us...who couldn't use a little giving and good will? On a more personal note, one of our illustrious staff, Juliann, was raised with a special needs (VIP) brother, who was born missing his tricuspid valve (layman's terms: he was born with a hole in his heart) and autism. She understands the unique challenges associated with VIP kids and their families only too well. In 1997, her Christmas present was having her little brother come home from the hospital after his second open heart surgery."
We need your help to stock the shelves as we plan to provide toys for 5,000 kids with special needs, our VIPs and their siblings at Nathaniel's Toy Shop!
Every December, Nathaniel's Hope turns an empty warehouse into Nathaniel's Toy Shop, a toy store for special needs families with financial need to shop for FREE toys for their kids, our VIPs, and their siblings. In some cases, these are the only toys these kids receive at Christmas.
2020 has been especially devastating financially for our VIP families particularly, and the need is greater than ever!
We will be making a slight pivot and distributing toys through Nathaniel's Toy Shop Drive-Thru or delivering to VIP homes with our Caroling Caravans.
