As part of this commitment, from last few years, our organization and with help of our generous members we donate toys to other nonprofit organizations who specifically cater to children care and needs.\u00a0In the spirit of paying back to the society, in December 2023, we were able to collect 48 toys & some stationary & other things and donate to Ronald McDonald House of Dallas\u00a0which is located near top children\u2019s hospitals and provide accommodations to parents who can stay close to their hospitalized child and benefit without incurring hotel and food costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
