Thank you for your patience and continued support. Please send no money, just ask how you can help.
At Goose Lion Games, Inc., we believe playtime is more than just fun—it’s healing, laughter, and a spark of imagination for children who need it most. Since 2022, we’ve delivered thousands of games and toys to kids in hospitals, group homes, and underserved communities.
But here’s our challenge: We rely on in-person engagement, bringing hands-on board games, card games, STEM projects, and more to children who need joy the most. Unlike other groups that hand out digital devices, we show up, play together, and create unforgettable moments. To reach more children, we need a reliable vehicle.
While we are deeply committed to sustainability, our nonprofit operates remotely, with volunteers traveling between homes, group homes, and hospitals. Unfortunately, there is little to no public charging infrastructure in our area, making an EV impractical for our current needs. A reliable, fuel-efficient gas or hybrid vehicle—whether new or gently used—would allow us to maximize our reach while keeping our operations efficient and impactful.
Of course, we always welcome game and toy donations—we believe moving products directly into the hands of children is more effective than traditional fundraising. Larger companies have buying power that far exceeds ours, making product donations incredibly valuable in helping us continue our work.
A donation of a van, SUV, or any transportation solution would allow us to visit more kids, deliver more games, and expand our mission. Whether it’s a vehicle, games, or resources, every donation ensures that more children experience the joy of play.
Thank you all for any and everything donated over the years and in the future!
