This year will mark the 10th anniversary of Keian鈥檚 Holiday Wish Toy Drive, launched by a 91原创 boy with cancer to make sure kids battling similar illnesses have a good Christmas.

His parents, Ryan and Chantal Blundell, have been organizing the annual collection to benefit B.C. Children鈥檚 Hospital and Canuck Place Children鈥檚 Hospice since six-year-old Keian passed away on Jan. 1, 2014, after a battle with t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia that began in 2012.

Despite his own battle, his family says Keian was passionate about helping children and their families living with a childhood cancer diagnosis.

Keian started the drive in 2012, when he brought a wagon full of gifts to the hospital for all the kids who couldn鈥檛 return home for the holidays.

He was able to return with gifts in 2013, but passed away on January 1, 2014.

In the 10 years since his wish began, the initiative has delivered nearly 18,000 toys.

Mom Chantal said like last year, the 2021 version 鈥渄oes look a little different鈥� due to the pandemic.

鈥淲e鈥檝e included another where the community can shop and have their choice sent directly to us. We still do have some drop-off locations, but we found last year it was a great, secure and safe way for people to donate,鈥� Chantal said.

They will be collecting toys until Dec. 10.

Rayn and Chantal said the past two years 鈥渉ave been both a challenge and a blessing.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檝e had to find alternate ways to safely include the public, family and friends. Keian was full of compassion and wanted critically ill children to feel surrounded by the magic of the holiday season. This is why we will continue to make a difference, both with him and for him.鈥�

Anyone who would like to contribute to Keian鈥檚 Wish, may do so by dropping off new, unwrapped toys at several locations listed, including Kids in the Grove at West 91原创 Elementary School at 9403 212th St., or Surrey RCMP detachments at 14355 57th Ave., 10720 King George Blvd., 10395 148th St. and 7235 137th St.

Donors are asked to wear masks and follow COVID-19 guidelines.

The initiative is also accepting gift cards, monetary donations, email money transfers (EMTs) as well as the Amazon wish list at , where supporters can pay for orders that will be sent directly to the drive.
