Tens of thousands of toys will be delivered to less fortunate families in Ottawa this Christmas thanks to Toy Mountain. Some of these gifts will hold special meaning when they arrive in the hands of Ukrainian refugees.
Natalia Kuksa and her nine-year-old son Ivan have been in Canada for seven months, escaping the war in Ukraine.
"Now he is in the military to protect our country and he doesn't have the possibility to leave the country," Kuksa said. On Dec. 18, all of the toys from Toy Mountain will be handed out to refugee children at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The refugees are also giving back.
