🎁💙 Thank You! 💙🎁

We are so grateful for everyone who donated to our Gift Card Drive for A Kids Place foster care! Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase 36 gift cards — each one a reminder to these amazing teens that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

Your kindness will make their day a little brighter and their hearts and tummies are a little fuller. 🌟

From all of us at Give a Little Sunshine 🌞 — thank you for helping us spread kindness and joy! 💫

🌟 Help us spread some sunshine again! 🌟

Give a Little Sunshine is teaming up with A Kid’s Place to make life brighter for teens in foster care—and YOU can help!

We’re collecting gift cards (any amount!) for:

🍔 Fast food & ice cream spots
🎬 Movie theaters
🛒 Walmart, Target & more

Why? Because teens deserve the chance to grab a burger, catch a movie, or shop with friends—just like their peers. A simple gift card gives them independence, joy, and a sense of normalcy.

💳 Donate gift cards directly OR Venmo -Voci and we’ll buy them for you! Easy Peasy!

📅 All donations due by November 1, 2025!

Together, let’s put sunshine back in their lives—one gift card at a time! 💛

Thank you!!
Aiden and Riley

Hello to all of our bright rays of shine!! Give a Little Sunshine is back and we have an urgent request that we need your help with. ☀️

Last week the state of Vermont was hit with massive storms and rain that resulted in devastating loss and damage. They were under a state of emergency. This is the second storm/hurricane that has devastated their community in the past 12 years. Prior to that it was 100 years ago. They have lost roads, covered bridges, farms, etc. The rush of rising waters pulled electric right from peoples homes. They've had helicopters on rescue missions saving people who were trapped. Give a Little Sunshine wants to help!

Some of you may know my Dad and Teresa live here in Vermont and this has landed smack dab in their community. One of my dad's employees, Dave has been greatly impacted by this devastation. Dave's house filled up with 5 feet of water from flash flooding. With that water comes river silt. The damage is extensive. Dave's elderly mother (80 years old) lives with him and had to be rescued by boat. The amount of damage that has occurred is astronomical. There are volunteers that are trying to help Dave rebuild by replacing the dry wall and mold clean up. Dave is a maintenance technician and will be out of work for some time while he is trying to pick up the pieces. During the flood all of his tools swept away. Dave is known in the community to be the nicest guy and someone who truly needs help putting his home back together.

The community is still receiving large amounts of rain and there was a tornado in the neighboring town just yesterday.

Give a Little Sunshine would like to help out Dave and his mom!! We are collecting gift cards to Home Depot, Shaws (their local grocery store), Hannaford's (another local food store) and Visa gift cards. Since this request is so urgent we are hoping to have all gift cards collected by the end of the week. Please send them here so Aiden and Riley can package them all up to send to Vermont. Every dollar and gift card will be going directly to Dave and his mom! Let's bring a little sunshine back to Dave and his mom! They could really use it right now. THANK YOU!! ☀️♥️

For Lawanna's 50th Birthday Bash, she requested folks who wanted to bring a birthday gift to bring a gift card to places like McDonald's, Burger King, Walmart, Target, Publix, and AMC movie theater instead so she could donate them to A Kid's Place.

Why? Because sometimes they take the kids out for picnics but don't have the funds for things like the above and just like any other kid, these kids love going to those places. Any of the gift cards Lawanna received would be donated to A Kid's Place.

Well, Lawanna has an amazing and generous group of family and friends so over $700 in gift cards were donated!!!

Watch the video attached. The voice message left by Mary should give an indication of how appreciative she was to receive these. ❤️❤️🌞🌞 After calling her back, she asked that we thank everyone for their generosity. So thank you to all of the folks who we are lucky to have in our lives and who help us help others!

That's a wrap!! With more than 307 pairs of pajamas collected we made a visit to A Kids Place to drop them all off! Give a Little Sunshine would like to extend a HUGE heartfelt thank you to EVERYONE who donated!! We could not have done this without all of you! When we dropped all of them off to Mrs. Mary she was overwhelmed and so grateful. Mrs. Mary said that this could not have come at a better time. Mary proceeded to show us her donation room and many of her pajama bins were empty and low. Thank you for helping us show Aiden and Riley how to give and make a difference! Until our next project we wish all of you good health and happiness!!

The kindness of all of our family, friends, and strangers has been amazing! We tallied the total sets of pajamas collected this morning and right now, WE HAVE COLLECTED 222 PAIRS OF PAJAMAS! We are truly overwhelmed with the generosity of so many and Aiden and Riley are learning that the efforts of a few can help and benefit many. What a great lesson for them to learn and carry with them.

We still have time left in our summer project to collect more! Please help us continue to add to our pajama collection. Our Amazon list has been updated and is ready for orders!!!
