The Finale
Holiday Season 2024
Dear Friends and Family,
Happy Holidays! The holiday season is upon us, and it's my honor to announce that we will be continuing the Elizabeth Todorov Toy Drive for our final year, at UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center.
Twenty-two years ago, my mother Elizabeth, expressed the need and passion to make a difference in people's lives. Being a cancer patient, she understood the struggle between medications, appointments, good and bad news, and medical bills. While going through treatment she always saw how the kids had a fighting spirit and willingness to live. Watching them gave her the strength and motivation to start her own mission to help families and patients alike over the holidays!
Over the years we have supported the UMass Child Life Program with large wall murals, room decor, full gaming sets, TVs and game console mounts, iPads, and several X-box consoles! These impressive items were all supported by the generous monetary donations we received. Accompanied by the larger purchased items, the toys collected are fully stocked in the children's play area all year round and contribute to individual gifts to open on Christmas day! Our infant donations have been used vigorously to support new members of families.
Our goal in this final year is to support the Child Life Program by continuing to update technology and aid patient care to be more tolerable and even enjoyable! Please consider checking out the website for online donations and other ways of donating! If any questions arise, please reach out and we will do our best to help you in a timely manner! Below is a QR code for the JustGiving page where you can make an online donation in Elizabeth’s name this holiday season. For additional updates and information, we welcome you to visit our page!
