Welcome to our Fundrazr page for the 8th Annual Share The Magic Toy Drive, Inspired by Barbara Aguirre
This Fundrazr campaign page was set up for online donations that
will go towards the purchase of toys for our 2017 Christmas toy
drive.
Our toy drive was inspired by the magic our mom, Barbara
Aguirre, created for us during the holiday seasons throughout our
lives together. After her passing at the start of the holidays in
2009, we were devastated. Though we rallied around each other as
much as possible, things profoundly changed and the void was huge.
In 2010, our sister, Andrea, came up with the idea to raise toys in honor of the great memories our Mom created for us and in order to help families that had children in the hospital or that were in shelters during the holidays. We knew that our Mom was always thankful for her children {and our good health) and the holidays were a time to express and show that gratitude.
Turning our grief into gratitude for having such a wonderful and giving woman in our lives, we decided to channel that appreciation into a call to action to help others that would find themselves in need during the holiday season. We are proud to say our family and friends rose to the occasion with great enthusiasm that has had a positive impact for the organizations we donate to. They are:
The Crisis Center of South Suburbia
- Ronald McDonald House (near Advocate Children’s Hospital)
- Advocate Children's Hospital
- The Village of Justice Food Pantry Holiday Gift Basket program
- Catholic Charities
- La Rabida Children's Hospital.
Since 2010, we have made it our mission to try and collect as many toys as possible with the help of our dedicated family members and amazing friends. We’ve met some great people and added to our circle of friends.

We look forward to taking our little grassroots toy drive
even further on the path to helping as many kids as we can - thanks
to the help of everyone out there. We encourage all of our donors
to reach out with a dedication for their loved ones or someone that
may have also passed on and left a profound impact on them..We’d
love to add them to our “Angel Friends” circle.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
- Bernie (on behalf of the entire family and especially MOM!)
