Dorsey Transmission Sends 'Thank You' to Severn Community

"I just can’t see a kid waking up Christmas morning without any toys. If one toy makes a kid smile, then it’s worth it for me."

That's what Dorsey Transmission owner said when he announced the .To increase the public's interest, Bell offered a free one-hour diagnostic test to any patron who donated at least one, new and unwrapped toy. 

As it turned out, the community heard and stepped up. Back in November, he hoped to fill at least one box for the program, meaning 40 to 50 toys, and that's exactly what he and his patrons did.

Wednesday, the local business owner contacted Patch to express his gratitude and excitement that his goals were reached.

"I would like to thank our customers and the Severn community for the generous outpouring of toys," Bell said. "When Severn Patch posted our toy drive I would not have guessed how quickly people would respond." 

"I am honored to have been a part of it," Bell said. 

With a box now full of toy trucks, stuffed animals and one stuffed SpongeBob SquarePants toy, perhaps Bell should be the one wearing a red suit with big leather boots.
