Annual Toy Drive - It is time to make some kids smile.

Want to buy a toy for a great child this Christmas?

Let’s bring some holiday cheer to some kids this Christmas.

Help sponsor the Guardian Farm + Illustrated Domain Annual Toy Drive.

Guardian Farm is located in a small Pueblo in Peru. The homes are simple, tin roofs, many have dirt floors, and meals are cooked often over an open fire on the floor. Each year we buy gifts for the wonderful children and have an opportunity to be there for them in a time of year that can be difficult when their families may only earn a few hundred dollars a month to survive. Most of these children may only have one stuffed animal or a few small toys because of this, these small gifts make a big difference. They are always happy for the gifts and do not mind not getting an iPhone 17. If you are able to donate to help us do this - thank you!

Wednesday December 17th, our volunteers and employees will set off to Cusco, Peru and do the shopping. Lodging for 5 people for 2 nights is $88 which is $8.80 per night per person. The cost of travel is for 5 people to travel back and forth 4 hours away, about $20 each way per person. All other money raised outside of PayPal fees goes directly to the kids. We will buy gifts with all the rest of the money and the amount of children we can purchase gifts for will be based on the amount of money we raise. We are very happy to do this each year. We also donate our time, effort, resources, and often quite a bit of money.

Our goal this year is 144 children, with a budget of 125 soles per child. Any extra funds will go directly to hosting additional children, last year we gifted over 250 children from 4 communities and we are happy to do that again. We take the gifts into the communities and distribute them with cups of hot chocolate and sweet bread which is a tradition here. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for everyone who has supported this in the past - this happens because of you.
