From Harvey to Hope: The Story of Lily's Toy Box

from Claire in a Chair

In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I sit down with Lily, the founder of Lily’s Toy Box, a Houston-based foundation that began in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and has since brought comfort, joy, and a sense of normalcy to children facing some of life’s hardest moments. We talk about the moment that inspired Lily to take action, why play and toys matter so much during times of crisis, and what it’s really like building a mission-driven organization from one small idea. Lily shares powerful stories, honest challenges, and the lessons she’s learned along the way—and how students and young people can get involved and make a difference too. This is an inspiring conversation about compassion, resilience, and the impact one person can have when they decide to help.Learn More About Lily's Toy Box: https://www.lilystoybox.comDonate! : https://www.lilystoybox.comInstagram: @Lilys Toy BoxMy Instagram: @claireinachairpodcastMy Website: Video Episodes now available on youtube @claire in a chair podcast!NEW EPISODES EVERY SUNDAY AT 9AM!
