For over two decades, my trusty 1990 Ford F-150 has been more than just a vehicle—it's been my companion in countless Toys for Tots drives and environmental cleanups around Dundalk, Maryland. This truck, with its sturdy 4x4 frame and history as a farm vehicle, has faithfully transported toys to children and hauled away debris from local parks, embodying my dedication to the community. With only 32,384 miles, it's still full of life, but now needs some essential engine repairs that I've been unable to tackle on my own.

Recently, I invested over $2,000 to prepare the truck for this season's efforts because losing it would be like losing a part of myself and my ability to give back. My usual mechanic, who doesn't specialize in engine repairs, recommended finding someone trustworthy to get the job done right. I'm reaching out for help so that I can continue using this invaluable resource to support causes close to my heart. Thank you for considering being part of this journey with me.

I just found out I’m receiving an award from Toys for Tots for the donations I’ve been collecting for local kids in need.

I’m incredibly honored… and also really heartbroken. My truck is broken down right now, and without it I won’t be able to gather and deliver the usual volume of toys this year.

These kids count on the help every holiday season. If the truck isn’t fixed, I’m not sure how I’ll keep up.

Please help me keep helping them. Any support — repairs, alternatives, or just sharing this — means the world.

Thank you for considering. Let’s make sure no child is left without a gift this year.

I am so very grateful WMAR Channel 2 did a story about needing the truck repair for all the volunteer work.

It cost the Baltimore Krampus $163.55 to rent a van for 24 hours to bring back the Toys for Tots donations from Oakenmist Renaissance Faire last weekend. This is why I need to get my truck repaired so desperately. Working for a nonprofit does not pay the best unfortunately and last year I had to make 33 toy pickups at various locations. If you can help it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
