Waukesha parade victim spreads love, joy, toys to those less fortunate this holiday season

 

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- This time of year is tough for Tyler Pudleiner. It reminds him of where he was on November 21, 2021.

He was injured in the Waukesha Parade tragedy, even was in a coma for a day.  But he came back from the brink, got his strength back, and eventually took this tragic moment and turned it into something positive not just for himself but for those less fortunate.  He started the "Bobbleheads Bring Us Together Project" Toy Drive.

This will be the second year for the event. It'll be held on Saturday, Nov. 30 at Da Bar in West Allis from 2 p.m. until midnight.

The address is 1902 S. 60th St. You're asked to bring a toy or a gift for a child, up to the ages of 17. Monetary donations are welcome, too.

Of course, bobbleheads are even better! New this year, there's an Amazon Wishlist. Click here to learn about the overall cause.
