Our mission is to put smiles on children’s faces by giving them the gift of toys, and showing senior citizens we care through our letters of love.

Kids supporting kids that are having a hard time, sick, bullied, live in divided families, foster care, as well as senior citizens in the community!

Nicknamed Ace of Hearts, Ace is an eight-year-old boy with a big heart.  Active in virtually every sport (basketball, soccer, football, swim, etc.), and a black belt in Taekwondo, Ace is dedicated to laughing everyday.  His energy is contagious and his smile is endearing. He started the Ace of Hearts Project because he realized that all children need friends, hence letters of love, and all children smile when given toys, hence toy deliveries.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Toy Drives & Letters of Love

At the age of six, Ace came up with the idea to deliver toys in the month of August.  Why August? The simple answer was, “because I’m not in school,” and I’ll have the time to give toys to kids.  Expanding on that notion to be year-round, the Ace of Hearts Project was created to provide children with toys throughout the year with the goal of putting smiles on the faces of children with special needs, in foster care, or just in need.  In addition, the Ace of Hearts Project writes Letters of Love which are notes to children in hospitals, senior citizen homes, foster care facilities and orphanages worldwide.

Toy Drives

Through toy drives, the Ace of Hearts Project is able to provide gifts to children on their birthdays, during hospital visits or when newly placed in foster care or orphanages. Thanks to the support of people like you we are showing kindness to children each month.

  • The Ace of Hearts Project will host toy drives throughout the year in which you can drop off toys. Stay tuned for details for our Toy Drives in 2023. In the meantime, you can donate by shipping directly (from Amazon, etc) to us at:

Letters of Love

Whether digital/email or handwritten, the Ace of Hearts Project is an initiative to have children write letters of hope, inspiration, or simply to say “have a good day.”   These letters of love are sent to children in foster care, orphanages, hospitals and more.  We also have a senior citizen letters of love program in which the notes are sent to senior and assisted living facilities.

  • "I received your kind and loving thoughtful letter at the Norman Murray Senior Center 2 weeks ago. You are right, the letter made me feel so special and showed how caring your organization is. You made that morning brighter because you were there and unexpected which made it fun. I know I was at the right place that morning to receive a letter (actually 3) Thank you so much and a big hug from me to all of you."
