To Whom It May Concern:
Good Afternoon!
Last year on the Day after Easter (I'm sorry, I don't remember the date). my Husband and I went into your store in Sherwood, Oregon. We weren't looking for anything in particular, just wandering around. We saw a sign that stated "All Easter 90% Off". We thought, "What the heck, Lets get some chocolate bunnies. After stocking up on more candy then we could ever eat, we turned into another isle at saw loads of Stuffed Bunnies.
We were THRILLED! We donate toys every Christmas to one of the local Children's Hospital. We filled our cart with bunnies and checked out. We were thrilled with the prices. We took all out to the car and stood by the trunk for a moment discussing if we wanted to get more. We ended up going BACK in and filled up another cart. After all was said and done, we ended up with 30 Stuffed bunnies for the kids.
I know that the kids will have a Happy Christmas with all those bunnies, I hope you will conceder doing something like at again. Maybe after Christmas or Easter again?
Thanks for helping us help the kids.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for al the replies! I'm glad I can make you all smile. What I didn't say in the letter, (it didn't matter) was that all this was done with Barley-One-year-old Toddler. So we had to drag him in to the store again. (Don't worry, he got his own bunny!) We have been donating for the last 9 years. My husband says that when we deliver the toys on the 23rd of December, THAT is Christmas to him. Not the 25th. He would be happy doing nothing on Christmas if he had to choose one or the other.
We put up a box at work the week of Thanksgiving, Put signs up all around the building and get loads of all kinds of toys. Which help to make even more kids smile.
Funny enough, twice now, we have been strapped for cash for toys. But something comes up to give us "help". One year it was my husband winning a contest at Build a Bear. We got 17 Teddy bears that year. This time, we were worried about this year when we found the sale.
There has been times when we get up and it is icy out. But by the time we get the car loaded (we take all the toys we get from work home and sort through them. You would be surprised the amount of people that donate used, crappy, torn up and/or broken toys. KNOWING they are going to sick kids!) the sun has come out and melted the ice. Other times it will wait until we are almost home from delivering them and the snow will start. Now, we are NOT religious people. But, call it what you want, (God, Karma WHATever!) Something/someone wants us to help these kids.
Our son is not old enough to understand what we are doing. But I think next year (he will be almost three then) we can have him help unload the toys. We wish we could see the kids get them, but we are not allowed. Oh well, WE know they will be happy.
We don't do this for recognition, as far as we know, they tell the kids "Santa" got the toys for them. We do this because we know that the kids (and their families) are having a crappy Christmas being stuck in the hospital, and this will help them (and their parents) relax a bit and work on getting better.

What a great idea and great letter! Stuffed bunnies make great pals regardless of the season. Thanks for posting your letter to Target and for showing us something we can do in our towns. It's great to read something so positive.
And I bet you won't want your Christmas donations to be returned like a previous poster here...hmmmm, Dora?

I absolutely love this letter. Letting Target know they've helped in some way to bring joy to kids who really could use it, but for planting the idea in others to think of doing something like this during the holidays as well.
Thanks for sharing this one, it's really nice to see something positive said about a store I like to do business with.
And anyone who really knows me, knows that I really love rabbits!
Hoppy Holidays!!

About a week into it I was giving serious thought to running away from home! It's fun though. :)

That's seriously cool. Good for you for doing this in the first place, and for letting Target know to what a good use their sale items were put. *cheer*

I can't help myself...I have to ask...
If you had 30 bunnies 7 months ago, are there over 1,000 of them now?
Hee hee, I couldn't resist making a bunny joke. What a great idea, buying those for charity. I love the big sales after Christmas; I work on the Santa's Secret Shop for my town, and we always buy the discounted merchandise for that.

What a great letter! Thanks for thinking of others and for donating cute stuffed bunnies for the kids (who can't possibly care that they got them a couple of days after the actual holiday)! I love "Happy Christmas" as well. Thanks for making me smile.
