We did it!

Thanks to your support, we reached our #HackingForTheHoliday (new window) campaign goals, raising $108,685 and delivering 2,519 toys to children with disabilities across Canada — 1,092 toys, 1,382 switches, and 45 joysticks.

We hosted 109 build events in all 10 provinces, with participants including schools, corporate supporters, and community organizations.

The adapted toys have made a big difference in the lives of kids with disabilities, allowing them to play independently.

“Thank you for giving my little three year old the access to play, like any three year old wants to. These toys have now given her the independence to play on her own,” shares Carey, mother of Evie, who had Linkimals toys adapted for her. “Having switch adapted toys that make her able to not only play with the toys but do it on her own and not having someone always do it for her is amazing.”

“It truly does make a difference for someone like Laurence,” says Mélissa, mother of Laurence, who received adapted toys. “When she lost the ability of her hands, one of our worries was that she wouldn’t be able to play anymore, but adapted toys opened a whole other door for her. She got to play again with toys. Thank you to everybody that helps.”

We are thankful for all of our volunteers, our community, and our supporters, we couldn’t have done this without you.
