Help Emily bring Christmas to Michigan foster kids

Explore the lists

We don't guess what kids want. We ask the people who know.

Skip the wishlist guessing game. Each Amazon list is built by the partner organization, so every gift matches a child who actually needs it.

HOW GIFTS ARRIVE

Every gift lands in the hands of a Michigan kid

Shop the wishlists and gifts ship straight to our partner homes. Give to the toy fund and Emily purchases toys in December for a direct drop-off. Either way, it reaches a child in your area.

PARTNER VOICES

Gifts that land with love at Samaritas and Homes for Black Children

When a wishlist gets fulfilled, Emily delivers it straight to the families who need it most. Our partners see the joy firsthand.

When Emily's Toys Fore Kids dropped off those gifts, you could see the relief on the parents' faces. It's more than toys — it's hope for the holiday.

Our kids were so excited to see their names on those gifts. Emily makes sure every child feels seen and remembered at Christmas.

Every toy Emily brings goes straight to a child in our program. She asks what they need, and she delivers. That kind of care is rare.
