Russell Cassevah and LittleBricks Charity: building brighter hospital days
A love of LEGO becomes a way to share creativity and moments of joy with hospitalized children.

A LEGO set can be the beginning of a spaceship, a tiny town or an afternoon of imagination. For Russell Cassevah, it is also a way to bring a welcome moment of play to children in hospital. Cassevah is the founder associated with LittleBricks Charity, whose own media page highlights his work delivering LEGO sets and his public profile as a barefoot LEGO-walking record holder. The memorable challenges attract attention, but the purpose is the children and families who receive the sets.
From a personal dream to a charity
In a January 2019 post signed Russell, also known as BrainyBricks, he described more than a year of work toward launching the nonprofit and plans to file for nonprofit status that February. The charity’s current website identifies it as a registered 501(c)(3), with EIN 83-3913042. That early post offers a small window into the effort behind the project: a personal enthusiasm becoming an organized way to give.
Taking the joy of building on the road
LittleBricks’ archived 2023 hospital tour page identifies Cassevah as its president and describes traveling to different cities, fundraising and delivering LEGO sets and building experiences to children’s hospitals. It also describes an ambassador program involving volunteers in fundraising and local deliveries. This is historical evidence of the charity’s approach, not a current tour schedule. Readers should check directly with LittleBricks for upcoming events and current volunteer opportunities.
How to be part of the good
The charity’s giving page offers both financial contributions and LEGO donations. Visit its official website for current acceptance requirements and donation instructions, particularly before sending toys intended for hospital use. Inside Lego does not collect donations or act as a partner of LittleBricks. We are sharing the organization’s story because it captures something we love about this community: a small collection of bricks can become a thoughtful act of generosity. This profile draws on published sources; it is not an interview or a claim of independently measured clinical benefits.
