Girl would like bike with training wheels

Thursday, November 26, 2009

Nine-year-old Sophie has cerebral palsy, and what she would really like for Christmas is a bicycle with training wheels. Sophie is tall for her age and could also use long-sleeved shirts, long socks and size 3 1/2 tennis shoes. She loves music and books. You can help Toybox this year and bring joy to these children by bringing any new toys to any of the Toybox locations, including The Southeast Missourian at 301 Broadway. Or you can make monetary donations to Toybox, P.O. Box 4, Cape Girardeau, MO 63702. Here are some most requested items by the children: learning toys, educational games, Barbie dolls, Transformers, Hannah Montana and Dora the Explorer items, Spider-Man, board games, children's books, trucks and outdoor games.
