100 Pratt City children are getting their Christmas wishes fulfilled thanks to Toys "R" Us and the city of Birmingham. The children all survived the April tornadoes, but their homes were damaged or destroyed.
With the families struggling, Christmas was an afterthought for them. That is why the toy store and several other area businesses chipped in to give these children a big shopping spree.
"I been up like I don't know how long trying to figure out how I'm going to get them some toys, just get them something for Christmas. If it ain't even much, it's a doll, so this is a blessing to have," said tornado survivor Lachandra Clayton.
"Some families lost everything. This goes a long way, but others are willing to step up as well," said Birmingham Mayor William Bell.
Only ten children were allowed to do their own shopping. City workers gathered toys and games for the other 90 children and will deliver them before Christmas.
