Hi everyone,

As members of the Dominican community, we—Janeen Mendez, Juan Frias, and Josh Frias—felt called to give back this Día de los Tres Reyes. While this holiday is traditionally a time of joy, gifts, and family, many children in the Dominican Republic go without the basics necessities.

Our goal is to raise funds to bring smiles, hope, and a little magic to children who need it most through toys. Any contribution helps us keep this beautiful tradition alive for kids who deserve it. Through this fundraiser, we hope to spread love, preserve tradition, and remind these children that they are seen and cared for.

Your support means everything.

On January 6, 2026, we gifted toys to 150 children made possible though generous donations. Our goal for 2027 is to bring joy to one thousand children in underprivileged neighborhoods in the Santo Domingo area, which will require an estimated budget of $20,000. This budget will cover expenses such as better quality toys ($15-$20 per child), food and drinks, and transportation costs. To help make this vision a reality, we are seeking partnerships with local churches to host and support the events within the communities.

Thank you in advanced for your contributions. All donors will be recognized on our WALL OF KINGS which will be displayed on the day of the event. God Bless!
