Heaven for me would be a mass delivery of all the comics I read as a kid, including those containing story episodes I missed. U.K. and American comics were so good. My Dad would criticise us for getting them but we saw him reading them on the quiet.
A very worthy charity. To donate in your local area you can go to https://www.toysfortots.org/donate/toys.aspxFrom their website:Toys for Tots began in 1947 as the brain child of Marine Corps Reserve Major Bill Hendricks. Actually it was his wife, Diane, who was the real inspiration. She had a few handcrafted dolls and asked Bill to deliver them to an agency that supports children in need.
When Bill reported back to his wife that he could not find such an organization, she instructed him to “start one!”. Maj Hendricks and the Marines in his reserve unit in LA collected and distributed 5,000 toys in 1947.
Seeing such successful community engagement in 1947, the Commandant directed all Marine Reserve Sites to implement a TFT campaign transforming it into a national community action program in 1948.

If you want to make another kid happy, toss in the comic book after you finish it.
