Small gifts, big hearts: Our wish lists
Discover how your thoughtful gifts can bring dignity, confidence, and belonging to children in need across Modoc County California. Our Amazon wish lists make it easy to provide essential items for a brighter future.
Foster fresh start: Comfort and care
For our Foster Fresh Start kits, we urgently need new pajamas, underwear, socks, and hygiene products like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and deodorant. We also seek comforting items such as blankets, stuffed animals, and journals to help a child feel safe on their first night in a new place. Additionally, for emergency placements, especially in our rural area, diapers, wipes, baby formula, and bottles are critical, as foster parents may not always have baby supplies on hand.
Youth sports access: Play and belonging
To ensure every child can join a team, our Youth Sports Access program needs new or gently used cleats, athletic shoes, shin guards, gloves, bats, balls, helmets, practice gear, and sports bags. Sponsorship funds are also vital to cover registration fees, ensuring no child is ever turned away from the joy of playing.
Ready to bloom: Back-to-school essentials
Help students start the school year prepared and confident. Our Ready to Bloom Back-to-School program needs backpacks, notebooks, binders, pencils, crayons, markers, calculators, lunchboxes, water bottles, and new school clothes and shoes. Every item is chosen to restore dignity, confidence, and belonging.
Find our wish lists
Our wish lists are conveniently available directly on Amazon for each of our programs: Foster Fresh Start, Youth Sports Access, and Ready to Bloom Back-to-School. Supporters simply click the Amazon wish list link, choose an item they’d like to donate, and check out as usual. The items ship directly to Addie’s Sunflowers Play It Forward, making the process easy and secure. Donors never need our physical address — Amazon handles everything through the wish list system. Each item has been carefully selected based on real, immediate needs, ensuring your gift goes directly toward helping a child feel safe, prepared, and included.
More than a gift: It’s hope in action
When you choose an item from our wish lists, you're not just buying an item — you are restoring dignity, confidence, and hope. A new pair of pajamas means a child feels clean and cared for their first night in a new home. A backpack means a student walks into school prepared instead of embarrassed. A pair of cleats means a child gets to belong on a team instead of sitting on the sidelines. Every gift represents love in action. We want supporters to feel that their choice truly matters — that something as simple as a toothbrush, a notebook, or a sports bag can change how a child feels about themselves and their future. Because when we choose love in small ways, it creates a mile of love in a child’s life.
