A few months ago, a video of 8 year old Jayden Perez went viral when his parents surprised him with tickets to a New York Giants football game. Jayden was so overwhelmed that he broke down in tears. Jayden was so excited about the tickets, that he told his parents that he wanted to give his Christmas presents to kids in Puerto Rico. Jayden knew about the hurricane that hit Puerto Rico hard, and wanted to donate his Christmas gifts to other children. Jayden’s mom told him to think big, so he did, and he started a toy drive. So far, Jayden has collected over 1000 toys for children in Puerto Rico. You rock Jayden!! Read more on Jayden, check out his video, and make a donation here.
