Dear Family and Friends,

This year Madeline and I are spending a large part of our holiday season in Des Moines Iowa. In the past, Madeline and I have been able to volunteer together working with both children and adults of the Bowling Green Ohio Community. This year, being in a new place we are still passionate about finding a way to give back in our new community.

We have decided to start a toy drive we are calling “Gift a Wave" for the children and families at University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Helping these families celebrate the holidays together, with as much togetherness, aid, resources and stress relief is our ultimate goal in making Christmas memories for these amazing children and their families!

If you have always wanted to give back and share the gift of the holidays, donating one toy is the perfect way. Something this little can make such a huge impact on one child and their families holiday season. We are asking you to consider helping us give not only toys, but other resources and donations in an effort to “Gift a Wave” to the Christmas Miracles at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
