Holiday Love – Toys for Tots A HUGE SUCCESS!

Tank Tops Flip Flops Newsletter edition no. 233

Santa was in OVERDRIVE this year visiting all the kids that got a toy from the unbelivable wonderful success of the Toys for Tots program this year.  Thanks to everyone who gave a gift or donated so we could buy gifts in your name – as literally Thousands of of kids had a smile on their face a new toy in their hand for Christmas.  Imagine the joy of getting your first bicycle or sitting on Santas lap for the first time.  Believe it or not for many of these kids your gift was life changing to them.  

We were also able to put on dozens of Christmas parties all over the Papagayo region to spread some Holiday cheer and fill happy bellies.  We were even able to sponsor a Christmas party for a Senior citizen group.  It is so heartwarming to see everyone in our community pitch in to make everybodys holiday season just a little better.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart to those who gave of their time or their hard earned money to bring some joy to our area.  A special thanks to the Guanacaste Veterans Association for coordinating the delivery of Toys and arranging Christmas parties to all the outlying communities.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoy a Happy New Year.  PURA VIDA, Michael Simons.

Enjoy all the photos and videos of the gift purchasing process and all the happy faces of the kids with their gifts:

TOYS FOR TOTS IS BACK IN COSTA RICA

Imagine the feeling you got as a kid when you first saw the gifts under the Tree on Christmas morning or when you first sat on Santa’s lap.  That is the true spirit of what we try to do every year with TOYS FOR TOTS!

We have teamed up with the Guanacaste Veterans Association and will be collecting new and UNWRAPPED toys in our 3 Tres Amigos Realty office locations – Playa Hermosa, Playas del Coco and Playa Panama.  

If you are unable to give a gift in person or would prefer to send a direct donation, I will personally be doing a toy run to purchase as many toys as is humanly possible.  If you want to get in on the Christmas spirit please send your donations to my PayPal or Zelle account michael@tanktopsflipflops.com.  Please make sure to put Toys for Tots in the payment description.

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who brings a toy or makes a donation –  The Kids will really appreciate it this year!

Thanks and Pura Vida,

Michael Simons
