We took the kids to Walmart and bought them everything on their wish list and then some. They were super excited and we had a great time watching them experience Christmas. Santa was nice enough to put a little extra something under the tree for Quadeer’s family.

We all loved spending time with Quadeer’s family in time for the holidays. Our goal is to bring joy to as many families as possible during the next holiday season. We hope this will be a memorable holiday for the family that they will never forget!

About Quadeer Isaac

It was an amazing experience to be able to give back to the community in this way. Quadeer Isaac is a father and husband who is currently incarcerated for a cannabis-related offense.His family is going through a hard time and this was the least we could do to show our support and gratitude for his family. We had a blast shopping with them and getting to know them better throughout the course of the day!

We are so excited to have made a difference in this young family’s life by being able to provide them with some much-needed Christmas cheer.

Special Thanks to AYR Wellness, Zonka Miles, and All Our Sponsors

We would like to thank all our sponsors including Zonka Miles for helping meet our goal for the Holiday Heart Happiness Drive and a special Thank You to AYR Wellness for their record-breaking donation of $25,000!

Without the help from our sponsors, we would not have been able to meet all the needs of Quadeer’s family and so many families in need during this time of year. We hope everyone is as thankful as we are for those who have helped us along the way!

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared our page, or just took time out of your day to stop by and learn about what we do. Merry Christmas Everyone!! Let’s enjoy every moment together!
