Kai sees wonder in everything — adventurous, endlessly curious, and so sweet. He makes us laugh daily and see life differently.
We would like to thank you for supporting Malakai 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.
Malakai brings joy wherever he goes! He’s adventurous, fearless and endlessly curious about the world. And also incredibly sweet, affectionate, and sensitive. He notices the little things most people miss. And constantly has us cracking up with something unexpectedly funny. He's full of personality — definitely the kind of kid who makes everyday moments feel special.
What are Malakai's favorite things to do?Malakai loves being outside — splashing in water, collecting rocks and sticks, nature walks through the forest, and exploring anywhere new. He’s always on the move and happiest when he’s discovering something. He also loves music, dancing, anything with an engine, donuts (with sprinkles!), the library, and playgrounds of course. Everyday adventures, big or small, are his favorite.
What would your family do with $25,000?We’d use $25,000 to invest in the two things we value most: time together and our family’s future. A portion would go toward a meaningful family trip, somewhere nature-focused like Costa Rica, to explore with Malakai and turn new experiences into memories we’ll never forget. We’d also strengthen Malakai’s future savings and reinvest in Rebecca’s photography business so it can continue growing. Overall, we’d focus on experiences, security, and opportunities that benefit our family long-term.
