✨ What started as an idea turned into something truly special. ✨

My inaugural toy drive was a success, and I’m beyond grateful to have helped 100 families with Christmas relief this year. Seeing smiles, spreading joy, and giving back to the community is what this season is all about.

Thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and believed in this vision. This is only the beginning ❤️🎄

Thank you Dave & Buster's and The City of Clay for your partnership!

Here are a few photos from the Hometown Christmas 🎄 Takeover. I pray I was able to help make each family’s load a little lighter this year.

Thank you to my family for showing up and holding it down in my absence.

Thank you Dave & Buster's for hosting the “greet and gift”.

Thank you, Valyncia imagesmgmt for reaching out to my mom and helping make this happen from a last-minute idea.

And thank you to Athlete Thread for the fire shirts.👕

A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Anderton and the City of Clay for helping with a pickup location for my first toy drive. I’m excited to continue working with you in the year ahead.
