Sisters, 8 and 11, would like bicycles for Christmas

Constance, 11, and Hanna, 8, love playing outside in their neighborhood. They are asking Santa for bicycles this year. They could also use clothing and shoes to wear to school. Mom doesn't have much extra to spend on Christmas, and new bikes for each of the girls would make them happy.

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, Barbies, Transformers, Hannah Montana and Dora the Explorer items, Spider-Man, board games, children's books, trucks and outdoor games.
