Channel 933’s AJ Machado hopes for 60,000 toys for Children’s Hospital

AJ Machado, host of Channel 933’s morning show “AJ’s Playhouse,” will hoist himself above IKEA in Mission Valley and live atop a scissor lift “crane” until he collects 60,000 toys for “AJ’s Kids” this holiday season - 10,000 more then what was raised during last year’s event.
The fifth annual “AJ’s Kids Crane,” will kick off Thursday, December 7th at 8am in the parking lot of IKEA in Mission Valley. AJ will eat, sleep (and even go to the bathroom!) on the platform of the crane, until 60,000 toys have been collected for Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. The hospital will present the toys to patients during the holidays and store and distribute throughout the upcoming year.
Local companies are encouraged to set up collection boxes in their offices. Any group toy collections that are delivered will also be acknowledged individually on-air.
Also, this year toy donations may also be made beginning December 7th at any San Diego-area L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Restaurant, official co-sponsor of AJ’s Kids Crane for those who cannot make it out to IKEA in Mission Valley.
“This is a chance to take the generosity that the holidays spark in people, and make it last year-round,” said AJ Machado. “These toys will be distributed to deserving kids during the next 12 months.”

Even a real fur coat may not be enough to warm San Diego area pets during the cold winter nights. The animal experts at Helen Woodward Animal Center say that, with a few precautions, you can keep your pets healthy, safe, and warm.
HWAC spokesman John Van Zante says, “Too many people think that their pets are meant to be outdoors. They may have been true many years ago, but we’ve domesticated them and they rely on us for food, shelter, and warmth.”
Helen Woodward Animal Center believes that pets are part of the family. “Do you really want a family member to sleep outdoors when the temperature dips? Probably not. The best way to keep your critters warm is to make sure they’re indoors with you.”
For pets that do sleep outside, make sure that they have shelter and blankets that they can snuggle in. A safe heat source would also help to keep your pet warm.
Even indoor pets can have a hard time when it gets cold. Van Zante says, “If your pet is on the living room floor and it’s shivering from the cold, it needs your help. Most other animal supply stores offer beds, blankets, sweaters, and wraps for pets.”
Some Northern breeds with thicker coats will handle the cold weather better than pets with shorter coats. But, like us, they’ve all become accustomed to the weather in America’s Finest City and will appreciate some protection from the cold.
“Many families will take their pets along when they visit the snow in the higher elevations. While your dog may be running and having fun with you, it may be ignoring its cold paws. Be aware of this and give it breaks to warm up, or just leave it home.”
For more information about pet safety during the cold weather or to adopt a pet of your own during the Iams Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive visit Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe, call 858-756-4117, or log on to www.animalcenter.org.
