Suitcases full of wooden cars were recently delivered to the children at Joy Christian School in Rwanda. This is the only “non-self-made” toy they will ever own. It is fun to see the smiles as they learned someone cares enough about them to donate a simple wooden car. Thank you to all Smilemakers.

Willis Russell Gibson
Willis Russell Gibson (February 25, 1921 – January 28, 2016)
Willis Russell Gibson was an inspiration to all Smilemakers. For years, Toys for God’s Kids trucked supplies to his home and picked up completed goods. While living in Colorado at Heather Garden, he single-handedly drilled wheels for all our cars. The other Smilemakers had trouble keeping up with his wheel production. Russ and his daughters also assembled cars in his home workshop.
Russ’s tireless efforts brought joy to thousands and thousands of kids. He will be greatly missed.
