PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - A 14-year-old put together a toy drive to bring Christmas cheer to James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital.

Damon Prezell is a freshman at Pitt Community Early College who organized his own toy drive. The drive saw success with dozens of donations and overflowing bags and boxes.

Sunday marked the finale of the drive, and Prezell accepted the last donations at Buck Wild Tavern and Billiards in Winterville.

“I just wanna help as many people as I can, and the fact that I can even do something this small,” Prezell told WITN.

The idea to donate to James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital came from Prezell’s health and sciences program for volunteer hours. But Prezell also wanted to make as big of an impact as possible and bring smiles to kids who need it.
