Our starting line
It started with about 300 monster trucks...
Chris considered downsizing his personal collection—approximately 300 trucks, primarily kept in like-new condition. Then he imagined giving them a second life with children facing difficult circumstances.
One collection.
Hundreds of possible smiles.
And we’re just getting started.
The Second Life idea
Every truck has a story.
Some trucks had a first adventure.
Now they’re ready for another.
The child creates the next chapter.

Explains what the package is about.
No cost. No catch. Just smiles.
There is no charge to the child, family, hospital, or participating organization. Nothing is being sold, and no donation or purchase is requested in return.
A small truck can make a big difference
A reason to smile.
A toy cannot change what a child is going through. But it can provide a distraction. It can give them something to play with. It can give them something of their own. And sometimes, it can simply provide a reason to smile.

Dream big. Roll far.
Our goal is simple.
Put the trucks where they can do the most good.
One child.
One truck.
One smile at a time.
