TOY DRIVE 2019
Tax deductible
Help us spread some cheer to families and children who spend their holidays in the hospital. All donations will go directly to the Connecticut Children's, formally known as CCMC, to help aid in their amazing gift giving program to all the children who visit there.
This toy drive is in memory of two amazing children whose family's spent countless hours in Connecticut Children's. The compassion and support received within the walls of that hospital are truly special and will forever be apart of the Carpino and Ashley families.
Audrey Carpino was an outgoing, smart, funny and full of life 8 year old who was taken from us on December 6th, 2018 after a courageous 7 month battle against DIPG, an aggressive brain tumor. She lit up every room with her amazing smile and huge personality. Audrey loved school and excelled in math and reading. Audrey's favorite thing was being a big sister and she was an amazing one at that! Her love for her family and friends was magical and left imprints that are forever felt by all that knew her.
Kyle Ashley was a charismatic 7 year old taken from us on December 18th, 2018 after bravely battling osteosarcoma for just over a year. Kyle had an infectious laugh and loved playing practical jokes. Prior to his diagnosis he was extremely athletic and was the star of his soccer team. He had a passion for karate earning his junior purple belt! Kyle's teachers were in awe of his mathematical abilities and how at such a young age he was able to explain math concepts to others..... he was a math wiz!! Kyle and his brother Jake were best buddies. They loved building Legos together, playing with light sabers, and having Nerf gun wars. Jake always made sure Kyle was included. Their bond was special. Kyle was a true superhero to all who knew him!
All donations will go directly to the hospital! Thank you for your support! We hope you have an amazing Holiday Season!
Happy Holidays!
