Sam Peña is a multimedia journalist at Denver7 KMGH in Denver, Colorado.
MaxMods, a Colorado nonprofit, is sending more than 1,500 toys to children with disabilities, and this year, our Denver7 viewers helped out.Weeks before the nonprofit's annual 'Santa's Little Hackers' event, Steve and Deana Watson shared their program's history with Denver7. For the past decade, they've taken store-bought toys and re-wired them to be tailored to children with special needs. The group has delivered more than 10,000 toys to children in 23 countries.
Angela Rosell volunteered at the event for the first time Saturday morning, helping with the reassembly process.'My son has received three or four different modified toys over the years. It's been such a blessing,' said Rosell. 'Getting a toy like this for free is important because it can be the only toy that some of these kids will get that they can actually play with.”Rosell's son Calvin received a dice roller, which helps him play board games with his family.
