At least that’s the plan anyways…
V for Victory is a non-profit in the Jacksonville, FL area focused on supporting people battling cancer. One of their programs is called Bricks of Love. Kids with cancer receiving treatment get a token to go into a room and pick out a set to build or play with (some sets are pre-built).

This is an awesome idea and I’m sure it helps to distract kids from the not so fun task of battling cancer.
Sadly, this story takes a turn for the worst. The non-profit’s LEGO storage area was recently cleaned out by thieves. You can view the local news station’s story on it here. This isn’t the first time this has happened to a LEGO charitable organization either… Sad.
V for Victory is asking for help. They have set up an Amazon.com need cart and they are asking for folks to purchase sets there to be shipped to them to help make up for their loss. You can also go to their website and donate that way. If you’re in the local area, feel free to donate in person this weekend.
Happy giving!
