Henrico mom's Christmas mission brings joy to hospitalized kids after son's death
Table of Contents
Christmas in the hospital is never easy for children and their families, but one Central Virginia mom is working to make the holidays a little brighter.
The sixth annual Kellan’s Legacy of Love Toy Drive is going on right now, and the goal is for every child at St. Mary's Hospital to receive something special even if they can’t be home for Christmas.
Donna Reynolds started the nonprofit in honor of her son Kellan who died in 2021 from a rare mitochondrial disease.
The goal was to help educate people about the disease, while also spreading joy to those who are receiving care at St. Mary’s, a place her son spent many months.
These toys also help restock pediatric units throughout the year for kids facing long hospital stays or emergency visits.
