Evangeline Dusenberry became seriously ill on a family trip in 2019

She spent five days at Levine Children’s Hospital

That year the Dusenberry family created Evangeline’s Stockings for her friends in the hospital 

After their daughter Evangeline spent a week at Levine Children’s Hospital in 2019, the Dusenberry family wanted to give back.

So they created Evangeline’s Stockings drive, providing hundreds of toys and gifts to kids to lift their spirit each Christmas.

"We need stockings with toys in them for the sick kids," Evangeline Dusenberry said.

This year Evangeline’s Stockings will donate to various hospitals. 

They also hope to raise $10,000 for Levine Children’s Hospital.
