Christmas is just around the corner, and it's a great way to share one's blessings by giving back to the community, especially to those who have way less than others and are in need of aid.

Thats a verry nice charity project to spend toys for kids in a hospital, And Billy Vogel was a good example for other high stakes poker player. Some of them don´t know what they can do with their money, see the sidebets in the last time.
this is certainly a very good initiative from a good man .... many children in hospitals are very sad because they can not celebrate holidays with friends and close people ... and these gifts will lighten up their sadness ..... maybe other people will also support This initsiativu and do good

It is always nice to see people helping with such events, raising money or gifts, especially when it comes for children, at this time of the year. And he has been doing this for quite some time. A job well done.

Very beautiful gestures from this man. There are plenty of children's homes which could make people to donate money. For those who do not trust donating money, they should buy toys and send them for children. Tradition in my country is like tomorrow 6 December by the holy nicolae to be made gifts in the pairs of shoes.
Being successful at something and making money with it is good thing to do, but it is just GREAT thing if you can help people. For kids with kids with poor parents it is just a very great thing because they are in need, this month can be very expensive. but also this month we must think more about each other and everybody needs a little bit of extra attention. The guy did a good thing!

Not often that you see, people that have the money and time, are involved in charities.There a re quite a few of them all over the world, but for sure, few more wouldnt hurt, the ones that really need help. In some countries it is even get deducted from the tax.

Giving away gifts to underprivileged children for the holiday season is a very nice gesture of goodwill. It is comforting to know that there is still some good in this world. I wish Billy the best of luck in all his future endeavors.
