To bring a smile to every child in their time of need
Why we do this
The picture above is our why. 21 crosses in front of an elementary school are why we do what we do. Sammie's Toy Drive was created by Sammie Magee for the survivors of the Robb Elementary School tragedy.
The early days
After creating the toy drive, we were in a fight against time to get the toys to the kids ASAP. As soon as possible ended up being in November of 2023, nearly 18 months after the tragedy.
Why wait a year?
After visiting the town, we quickly realized that this was when the kids and families needed the support. After the news stations, worldwide supporters and the help leave, is when the most help is needed.
After the world has forgotten
While in Uvalde we were told that these communities feel forgotten, our goal is for these communities to feel constant love and support.
How do we get our items where they need to be?
For Uvalde, we shipped 13 boxes that ranged from 13-60 pounds to Uvalde. We hope to have direct shipping in the future.
What we hope to do next
We hope to continue to reach new and existing supporters to help us with providing love through toys and playdays to these communities.
Help us to continue to our work in these tragedy-stricken communities
