Eva Longoria Shares Toys R Us Toy Catalog Cover With Fresno Boy

A Fresno boy with Down’s syndrome shares the spotlight with Eva Longoria. Elijah De La Cerda, age five years old, is on the cover of the 2011 Toys “R” Us Toy Guide. Elijah shares rhe cover with Eva Longoria who has a sister, Lisa, with special needs.

Elijah’s mother, Jami De La Cerda says, ” I think so many people look at our kids with disabilities and they don’t realize the talents and potential they have.” “The 2011 Toy “R” Us Toy Guide” provides families with toy recommendations for children with special needs. The guide is available at stores nationwide.

I think all children are gifts from God. Even if the children have disabilities and special needs. They need to be helped to reach their full potential. The special needs children have their own personalities, likes, and dislikes. So many of them can become self-sufficient adults and productive members of society. It hurts to realize that so many people think special needs children don’t deserve to live. These children can be taught to be kind, helpful, and decent human beings. These people who think disabled children should die, could have something happen to them and they could become brain-damaged themselves.
