Brooklyn, 2, gives hugs like they’re magic, says “I love you” first, and believes every flower was picked just for her—pure heart in motion.
We would like to thank you for supporting Brooklyn in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Brooklyn, 2, is a curious little explorer with a heart rooted in nature. She chats with birds, rescues worms after rain, and knows every dog in the neighborhood by name. Fascinated by bugs and blooms alike, she’s the first to spot a butterfly and the last to leave the garden. She asks big questions with bright eyes and listens like it all matters—because to her, it does. Smart, gentle, and wildly in tune with the world around her, Brooklyn is a nature-loving wonder.
What are Brooklyn's favorite activities?Brooklyn’s happiest days are spent barefoot in the garden, digging in the dirt and talking to the flowers. She loves reading gentle stories by Tabitha Paige, pointing out each animal and mimicking their sounds with joy. Time with her grandparents is pure magic—helping in the kitchen, or cuddling up for one more story. Whether she’s exploring nature or sharing quiet moments with those she loves, Brooklyn fills each day with wonder, warmth, and wild-hearted charm.
How would $25,000 impact your family?A $25,000 gift would be life-changing for our family. After navigating some recent hardships, including financial stress and unexpected challenges, this support would give us the stability we’ve been working so hard to rebuild. It would allow us to invest in Brooklyn’s early education, nurture her love for animals and nature, and create meaningful experiences as a family. More than anything, it would bring peace of mind—and the space to dream of future again, not just pivot the now.
