Spreading Joy and Bikes This Christmas
The Friendsgiving Toy Drive is an initiative started by Ana Teresa Rodriguez and Luis Garcia , along with their close friends Karen and Eduardo Abbo, Maggie and Guillermo Fernández, Bernardo and Maggy Duran, Ricky and Cristy López, Mabel and Walter Álvarez, Anette and Rick Buckley, Mercys Gómez and Brynert Marquez, Audrea and Felipe Caro, and Stephanie Sayfie and Morten Aagaard. What began as a heartfelt desire to spread love and kindness has grown into a cherished tradition, devoted to bringing hope and happiness to the children of the Lotus House community in Miami.
A bike is so much more than a toy—it’s a gift of freedom, joy, and possibility. It opens up new worlds, allowing children to stay active, healthy, and curious. With each bike we give, we’re offering kids a chance to engage in physical activity, discover the outdoors, and grow in confidence. This isn’t just about play; it’s about giving children a tool that can shape their future in meaningful ways.

A Legacy of Impact
Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to deliver hundreds of bikes, scooters, tricycles, and essential items like blankets and diapers to the children at Lotus House. The joy and excitement in their eyes remind us why this mission is so important. In 2024, with over 1,000 bikes already donated, we are ready to make this Christmas the most magical one yet.
This Christmas, Bring Smiles with Every Bike!
Whether by donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, your involvement can make a profound difference.

Together, we can continue to spread love, hope, and the true spirit of the season—one bike at a time.
