On December 23, 2024, Amanda Demanda hosted her highly anticipated annual Toy Drive at Christmas Wonderland in Tropical Park, bringing holiday magic to children in Miami-Dade County’s foster care system. Benefitting The Voices For Children Foundation, the Toy Drive collected new, unwrapped toys, ensuring that many abused, abandoned, and neglected children experienced the joy of receiving a special holiday gift.
But the Toy Drive was about more than just presents—it was about creating meaningful experiences for children who often miss out on the magic of the season. With the support of Christmas Wonderland, Amanda Demanda gave these children the opportunity to enjoy the park’s enchanting attractions, including carnival rides, festive photo ops, and letters to Santa. Many children shared that it was their first time experiencing such a festive holiday event.
Through the Toy Town attraction, sponsored by Amanda Demanda, and activities like The Snowflake Adventure, Amanda and her team bonded with the children, hearing their stories, sharing laughs, and spreading holiday cheer. These moments of connection reminded everyone of the resilience and hope these young lives carry.
“This season is about giving, not just gifts but opportunities to create memories,” Amanda shared. “Being part of their joy, hearing their laughter, and learning their stories was truly heartwarming. Together, we showed these kids they are loved and supported.”
Thanks to the generosity of our community and the dedication of everyone involved, the Toy Drive made a lasting impact, brightening the holidays for countless children and their families. As we look ahead to 2025, Amanda Demanda is committed to creating more initiatives like this, continuing to spread joy and support those in need.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Toy Drive a success—because every child deserves a reason to smile, both during the holidays and beyond.
