Lazarus shines with a kind heart, fearless spirit, bright smile, wild imagination, and the sweetest bond with his baby sister.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lazarus 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.
Lazarus may be nonverbal, but his presence is powerful. He speaks through his eyes, his laughter, and the way he loves so deeply. His spirit is bright, his curiosity endless, and his joy contagious. He’s gentle, wild, protective, and full of magic—a boy whose heart speaks louder than words ever could.
What are Lazarus's favorite activities?Lazarus finds joy in the little things—wind on his face, splashing water, spinning in circles, and the rumble of toy cars. He’s full of energy, playfully rough at times, but always with love behind it. French fries are his comfort food, and music makes him move like nothing else. His bond with his sister is loud, chaotic, and full of heart. He may not speak with words, but every movement, laugh, and look is pure expression.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would be life-changing for my family. It would bring stability, cover essential needs, and allow us to catch our breath. I could create better routines for my kids, provide therapies or enrichment for Lazarus, and make a safer, more joyful space for both of them. It would ease the weight I carry daily—and finally let me move forward, not just survive. It’s not just money—it’s a moment to rebuild, breathe, and believe again.
