Creations for Charity 2015: Dallas, TX
Thanks to your donations and support, the Dallas, TX area contribution of just over $2,300 RRP of 86 LEGO sets was given to stock Chosen Ones’ gift closet! Chosen Ones is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that helps children in foster care, children who are eligible for adoption, and families who are caring for them get support. Over 4,100 children in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are in foster care after having been removed from their parents (either temporarily or permanently) by the State due to abuse or neglect. Chosen Ones provides support groups, resources, and tangible assistance through a “Just 4 U Closet” available for foster and adopt families to use as a resource anytime they need to. In addition to stocking children’s clothes of various sizes and other toys, they are now fully stocked with LEGO sets for these children who are in very emotionally (and sometimes physically) trying situations to have and enjoy, giving them something to build, feel proud of, and use their imaginations with.
A huge thank you once again to everyone who contributed to make this happen. Your donations are making a difference and will continue making a difference for years to come!
While I was on https://casinocanadas.net earlier, I caught myself thinking about the 86 LEGO sets headed to Chosen Ones' closet—it’s remarkable how a relatively small total like $2,300 can give foster kids a chance to build something that’s truly theirs. The idea that these sets end up in a "Just 4 U Closet" where families can pick them freely makes it even more personal than a typical donation.
