Why We Do This.

This isn’t just a toy drive.
It’s a memorial in motion. A tribute to the children who were forgotten, erased from history after contracting HIV through tainted blood transfusions or birth. Their names may be lost, but their stories still echo.

We remember them. Loudly.

Who This Helps.

Every child.
Every hospital room.
Every diagnosis.

This drive doesn’t discriminate because joy shouldn’t either.
All toys and proceeds go to children hospitalized for any reason at Southeast Georgia Health System. Whether they’re fighting chronic illness, recovering from surgery, or waiting for test results, they deserve magic.

The Real Message

HIV still carries stigma. Children are still caught in its wake.

This toy drive tells the world:

We remember. We fight. And we bring joy where silence used to live.

Help Make The Toy Drive Happen

It takes a team to collect boxes from host locations, move toys to the event, and get everything delivered to the hospital. We are in dire need of volunteers and any small bit can help. Please use the form to contact us!

Volunteer Roles:

  • Box Collectors: Pick up donation boxes before the event.

  • Event Day Crew: Help with loading, unloading, and setup.

  • Transportation Team: Join the toy delivery procession with the Sheriff’s Department.

Every set of hands makes a difference, and all volunteers are welcome to be part of the final delivery tradition.
