A Lot Of Kids In My Poor Neighborhood Miss Out On Halloween Costumes. I Decided To Change That. I Handed Out Over 100 Today
Living in one of the poorest counties in the state of Florida, USA, you see a lot of kids go without. Halloween costumes are something kids definitely shouldn’t miss out on.
Last year, I decided I wanted to change that. Today, I handed out over 100 kids’ costumes.
This pic is the embodiment of everything I set out to do. It was awesome to see the little faces light up knowing that they were going to have a Halloween
That look is priceless
This kid was probably my favorite meet and greet. He was so happy to meet the Spidey
It made everything totally worth it
One of my best friends Corey came as Deadpool to lend a hand
The turnout was way bigger than I expected. I wish I could have done more but I paid for almost half of what I had out of my own pocket and the rest came from donations
Unfortunately, I had to turn some kids away as we ran out of costumes within an hour
It felt amazing to give back to the community
Hopefully, next year we can do much more
If anyone would like to donate costumes, you can send them to 1000 Saint Johns Avenue Palatka FL 32177 or you can email me at jonathang541@gmail.com.
Thank you so much, any help will go a long way!
