Lucas was born with a complex congenital heart defect and a rare genetic syndrome. His first year of life was filled with surgeries, hospital stays, and challenges few could imagine. Today, at (almost) ten years old, he is a bright, funny, and determined boy who has overcome so much and continues to inspire everyone around him.

During his many hospital stays and doctor visits, small rewards like Hot Wheels® and Matchbox® cars have helped Lucas cope with fear, pain, and long days. Those tiny cars brought BIG comfort.

For his tenth birthday, Lucas wanted to give that same comfort to other kids in the hospital. Cars for Courage was born from his wish to fill hospital toy closets with cars and playsets that help children smile and stay brave during tough moments.

Join us in helping Lucas deliver hope, joy, and courage, one toy car at a time.
