(WICHITA, Kan.)—
Brad Pistotnick's office looks like Santa's workshop, albeit a little smaller. His staff are serving as elves stacking toys taller than some of the kids who will unwrap the presents Christmas day.
"It just makes me feel good," says Brad Pistotnick.
It's a simple reason why Brad Pistotnick has turned his office into toyland for the last three years and spends nearly fifteen-thousand dollars of his own money to give back to Wichitans in need.
"They're just normal people, that are having a hard time," says Pistotnick.
Carla is one of them. Sunday, she is first in line. She says she has been waiting for hours.
"I really want a bike for my granddaughter," says Carla.
And she needs two more toys for her grandsons who she says would get little to nothing if she wasn't in line.
"I think it's a wonderful thing to do especially with people having hard times right now unemployment. People just don't have the finances," says Carla.
Nearly four-hundred people waited around the building, each one can take home up to three toys.
Pistotnick says he used to donate to non profits in town but he wanted to be more involved in the process.
He started handing out toys three years ago in hopes of inspiring generosity, he says, its working.
"We were in Wal-Mart and some anonymous person came up and said I want to buy two bikes to giveaway and just brought them out to us." says Pistotnick.
And it was one of the same bikes Carla got to take home to her granddaughter for Christmas.
