This is a very difficult toy drive update for us to give.
Elliott’s health hasn’t been the best. He’s been feeling extremely exhausted, having more headaches, a bigger lack of appetite, and even having trouble regulating his temperature which have all affected his days tremendously.
In an effort to fully focus on him we paused the toy drive.
Our goal was to pause it for a week, maybe two, but it turned into a month.
We’re now in a desperate time crunch to make some pretty big miracles happen for the kid who has shown us they’re possible time and time again.
I told Elliott we probably needed to be finished for the year and accept a final count of 2,378 toys collected for Oklahoma Children’s Hospital.
𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭.
He refuses to accept the possibility of not meeting his original 5,300 toy goal and is also very upset about this being the first year of not beating the previous year’s final count (7,092 last year.)
We are delivering these toys to the hospital on October 13th.

This is the biggest hurdle we’ve faced during our nine years of toy drives but we all know Elliott won’t go down without a fight.
He believes it’s possible and I’ll do anything to make his dreams come true.
