Christmas with Nathaniel’s Hope

Nathaniel’s Toy Shop

Since 2008 Nathaniel’s Toy Shop, a pop-up Toy Shop, has opened each December to kids with special needs (our VIPs) and their families in financial need. Thanks to Walgreens and other community partners we have been able to fill the shelves and have VIP families come shop for free toys to give their children a joyful Christmas.

NATHANIEL’S TOY SHOP ADDRESS:

4324 E Colonial Dr.

Orlando, FL 32803

(The old library)

It’s time to bring joy to VIP kids this Christmas!

“On Christmas Nathaniel’s Hope gave my daughter and her siblings Christmas gifts which is a blessing to the family when we most needed it. I am a single parent with four children and one has a special need so it’s a blessing to have Nathaniel’s Hope.” – VIP Mom

We are one of the families who were blessed with a caroling caravan. We’ve had a particularly difficult year, and are looking at even more complicated medical challenges coming up. Seeing the Girl Scout troop on our doorstep, with so many presents for our kids, smiling faces, and singing Christmas songs literally brought tears to my eyes. We feel so blessed. Thank you so much for all that you do! You are definitely making a difference and helping to bring smiles to faces during challenging times.”
