Support Darnell's Legacy: Christmas Toy Drive

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tisha & on August 19th, 2019, at the age of 13, my son Darnell (Poodaman) Burnett passed away from an asthmatic seizure. It was a devastating blow to me as a mother, his siblings, his family, his classmates, & especially his teacher. Poodaman was so excited about starting the 8th grade and participating in the Special Olympics, where he had won several gold & silver medals, including several ribbons. Poodaman's teacher, Ms. Carroll, decided after his death to have a Toy Drive in his honor because of how giving my son was to everyone. The Toy Drive was so successful that she started her own organization, "LEAD WITH LOVE" & set up DARNELL'S SECRET SANTA. So now, with her organization, we have tons of kids who participate in this toy drive. Each kid sends in 6 gifts they want for Christmas, and as sponsors & with your donations, you will be helping us make their Christmas very special. I really appreciate all the past donations. So let's make this one just as great.
