Love Heals Youth partners with Tesla & Payton Riley to deliver Christmas joy to foster youth

THE WOODLANDS, TX — This Christmas season, Love Heals Youth is inviting the community to experience what it truly means to be a present-day Santa Claus — showing up for children who have no family and ensuring they are seen, valued, and loved.

Love Heals Youth has partnered with Tesla and Payton Riley Music to serve over 200 foster youth living in approximately 15 residential group homes and orphanages across Montgomery and Harris counties. Many of these children will spend Christmas without family, making this community effort especially meaningful.

This Sunday, Love Heals Youth will host a community-wide gift collection event bringing together volunteers, vendors, sponsors, first responders, and elected officials to help gather Christmas gifts. On December 24, Tesla and Love Heals Youth will deliver the gifts in Tesla Cybertrucks, arriving at each home with a festive vehicle light show, spreading holiday cheer, and ensuring every child and staff member receives gifts. The deliveries will also include a few uplifting activities designed to bring joy and connection to each home.

“This is about more than toys,” said Love Heals Youth leadership. “It’s about presence, dignity, and reminding children living without family that they are deeply loved and not forgotten.”

Guest Speakers & Special Performance

The event will feature remarks from respected community leaders, elected officials, and child advocates who share a heart for serving vulnerable youth, along with live music:
