Max's Tractor Box

Max's Tractor Box Our son, Max, was in a pool accident at age of 18 months. Our son, Max, was in a pool accident on July 18th 2018 at the age of 18 months.

we created a Non for Profit organization to donate toy tractors and overnight mom bags for children and mothers that are staying overnight in the hospital. He was rushed to Parkview DeKalb Hospital where they worked on him and got a heartbeat. We were then rushed to Parkview Regional Medical Center, where we were told he wouldn't make it through the night. But little man was a fighter, and he d

id. We got to spend three more days with him before we were forced to say goodbye due to brain damage. During that time, we were exposed to the great service that the hospital and support staff provided. Max's connection to tractors is what motivates us to put tractors in this hospital environment, to help support children who are in the hospital overnight or for an extended period of time. Max was raised on a grain farm, where we farmed corn and soybeans. If he wasn't in a tractor, he was playing with them. In our hearts, making these toys and donating them is another way to keep him known and remembered. The toys are meant to be a pick me up or a way to lift their spirits while they’re in the hospital. They can lighten the mood and give them something to enjoy if they're able. The idea behind the tractor was to find a really cool way to deliver toys to the children; one that would get them excited about what's in it and the fact that it looks cool and funOur main goal is to gift and comfort the families who are in need in the hospital. Tabby also likes to create Mom bags, basically they are a bag loaded with the essentials you would need if you end up staying in the hospital with a child overnight. The project allows us to remember our son and to give tractors to comfort those children just as tractors did for him when we were in the hospital.

What can I say, Rutland never disappoints from the dead weight drags to the peddle tractor pulls. Along with the tractor drives, and down home atmosphere. But nothen stands out more then the way this community has out poured into our organization and supported our cause. Talking to people, and the hard things in life and how we get through it, all story’s are different the struggles are all the same. It takes community to get through hard things even if it’s a tractor or a mom bag you receive at the hospital. Today was Max’s 9th birthday, and we couldn’t have celebrated in any way better than riding and playing with tractors and thats just what we did. Thank you all for having us again! And happy birthday buddy.
