Christine loves how her home overflows with wrapped Christmas presents ready to be delivered
Christine Baeâs heart ballooned as she watched her childrenâs faces light up when they saw all the toys in their favorite toy store, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. But sadly, the shop had a large Going Out of Business sign hanging in the window.
Christine allowed the kids to pick out more than usual because of the big sale. Shortly after at their Norwood, New Jersey, home, Christine watched her kids play with their new gifts and thought, Wouldnât it be nice if other kids who are not as fortunate as my kids could feel the same happiness?
Then she got an idea: Maybe I should go and buy some more toys on discount and donate them to needy children.

A generous act
The next day, Christine returned to the store and picked out a few toys. But looking around and seeing how deeply discounted the items were, she wanted to help even more kids in need. Maybe I could buy a quarter or half the store, Christine thought, knowing it sounded crazy.
Christine and her husband, both attorneys, know they are blessed and have always wanted to pay it forward, even holding annual fundraisers for a South Korean orphanage.
She walked up to a salesperson and found herself blurting out, âCould I buy all the toys?â
The surprised salesperson asked, âWhat are you going to do with all this stuff?â
âWell, I want to give it away,â Christine replied. âIâll give you $10,000 for the whole store!â
