Building Smiles One Brick at a Time | Virginia Beach News

Russell Cassevah turned childhood Lego therapy into a national movement, founding LittleBricks Charity to deliver building sets to kids in hospitals and with serious medical conditions. Inspired by his own past and his daughter’s birth, he quit his job, cashed out retirement, and launched the charity in 2019 — even partnering with Lego before they pivoted away. Now running his own brick company, every purchase funds mental health-focused sets that bring joy, distraction, and normalcy to kids in need. With nearly 22,000 sets delivered to 62 hospitals and over 21,000 kids reached, Cassevah’s mission is fueled by community support — including a NASCAR race car naming fundraiser — all aimed at turning bricks into smiles.
