Santa Delivers a Spark of Love

A letter written from the depths of a pure, loving heart brought the true Christmas Spirit to the Zaragosa family today, delivered by Santa and his elves, all powered by the Spark of Love.

16 year-old Juan and his younger brother both face daily struggles with special needs and it has been a difficult few years for their family. But when Juan wrote to Santa, his thoughts were entirely of others. His only requests were for his brother and his mother, who has carried the weight of widowhood alone.

Touched by Juan's selfless love, Santa recruited his elves in uniforms to help him deliver the joy, happiness and smiles that every family deserves.

This is the power of the holiday season, fueled entirely by your generosity. Every toy, every donation made this miracle possible, proving that when we open our hearts to our community, we can truly change someone's life and bring light to the darkest times.

Be the Spark of Love

Help us keep the magic alive for more families in need this holiday season:

  • Drop off a new, unwrapped toy or sports gear at any LAFD fire station or Subaru Retailer.

  • Text "SPARK" to 24365 to donate.
