12-year-old boy gives up Christmas gifts to make Grinch bears for sick kids

Gavin Reeve spends his free time after school nowadays on the sewing machine. “When he comes home, he does his homework, and that’s what he goes to,” said Reeve’s stepmom, CaLeanna Schaller. Gavin is determined to make dozens of Grinch-themed teddy bears. He’s made around 80 so far, and on Dec. 4, with the help of The Angels Hands Foundation, he’ll give them to kids with rare illnesses. “Helping people is just a better present than anything else, because it makes you feel good,” Gavin said.
