Kit's Kids
Free toys, clothes, and backpacks
Kit's Kids is named for my grandfather, Elder Kit Nelson. I run it with my mom, and it's our way of getting good things to kids who need them!
Why we're doing this
A ray of sunshine
Kit's Kids is named for my grandfather, Elder Kit Nelson, who was born June 19, 1936 and passed on September 9, 2026, at 90 years old. He was the biggest ray of sunshine, and kindness came to him as easily as breathing.
Blue was his favorite color, which is why this whole page is blue. Every time I visit, my grandmother sends me, or the kids, home with toys to bring back with us. It is a blessing that was given to me, and now it is one I get to give to others. Kit's Kids is how we keep his kindness going, by making sure kids in our community have the things they need to feel ready, happy, and proud!
