Elliott Wyche was born with half a heart, but it still has plenty of love to spread around during this holiday season.
The 4-year-old boy from Arlington, Texas, nicknamed “Tin Man,” has put the hearts of kids in need before his own this Christmas by donating dozens of toys to a local police program.
Wyche was diagnosed before birth with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a congenital defect in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped. He has undergone three open-heart surgeries in his life.
When his supporters who have followed his journey on Facebook offered to send him gifts for Christmas, he instead turned it into a toy drive for the Santa Cop program run by the Arlington Police Department.
