Man Aims to Reunite 100 Homeless Folks With Families, to Honor His Uncle
This California man is traveling the country, posting video messages from the homeless to social media in an effort to reunite 100 with their families.
IKEA held a contest to recruit ten children to draw their "dream stuffed animal". Their art was turned into toys to raise money to help kids worldwide.
These soft, plush toys are going to raise a lot of hard cash to help children in need around the world - and it's all thanks to IKEA, who recruited some kids as artists and toy designers.
Children at IKEA stores in 40 countries were invited to draw their "dream soft toy" for a good cause. Their drawings were reviewed last year and ten of the wackiest and sweetest were selected to become actual toys for sale in the Swedish furniture stores worldwide.
One Euro (about $2.00) will be donated for each soft toy sold, to benefit UNICEF and Save The Children.
Every year since 2003, IKEA has donated â¬1 for every soft toy sold in IKEA stores in November and December. In 13 years, IKEA's Soft Toys for Education Campaign has raised more than $84 million to support 99 projects in 46 countries.
