All the toys will be delivered directly to me like last year where I will sort & distribute closer to Christmas.
I know it seems early but I do this alone & it’s a lot of work.
The charities of choice are
-Cheo
- Youville school for moms
- Children’s Aid
Friends not often I post my baby brother but this year he is going to be my little helper in the 2nd Annual OnlyTakesOne Toy Drive for local kids in Ottawa so I hope you will help us out.

Alright OTTAWA Today and Tomorrow are the last days to help underprivileged kids in our community.
I need your help so please RT. Let’s see how far we can get this tweet.
It takes a Village to make this possible and I know you will come through.
I was hurt at first but then realized why, I have so much more support and love then this negativity but one thing that does bother me is that a message like this is what may discourage a teen from doing better.
My advice move on and hope this person gets better🤍
My heart hurts for this person because for whatever reason you may feel necessary to lash out at my daughter is uncalled for.
She works extremely hard to help those around her and it is sad you feel the need to message such nasty words .
A big thank you to
