Kodak Black donates $20,000 for Christmas Eve toy travel from prison
Kodak Black sponsored a toy push on Christmas Eve – to the tune of $20,000 – to deliver joy to young children this holiday period, though he’s in prison.
The rapper delivered reward playing cards, scooters and other toys for 60 families and about 100 kids in Broward County, Florida, which incorporates Ft. Lauderdale. Some of the small children ended up in foster treatment. He also paid for their lunch, says his law firm, Bradford Cohen.
“It was by invitation only, because we wished to make confident that anyone acquired toys, and every person bought sweet,” Cohen suggests in an job interview Friday.
Kodak Black collaborated with local community activist Francky Pierre Paul to host the push. The rapper was sentenced to 46 months in prison in 2019 just after pleading guilty to federal weapons fees.
“We all bear in mind what it feels like to get a gift,” Paul wrote on Instagram. “Some kids this time will not have an chance to unwrap a person this year but we built guaranteed we set smiles and gave hope to a several families and youngsters currently. @kodakblack it’s all UP from right here king!”
The kids’ ages ranged from 4 to 15 or 16, Cohen suggests the more mature children received motorized scooters and hoverboards.
Provided the coronavirus pandemic, all the kids wore masks, Cohen states, as did absolutely everyone who handed out toys. The celebration was break up into two parts.
