A New York City woman is going above and beyond when it comes to the spirit of giving this holiday season.

Carol Suchman was walking by a toy store with a sign that said "for rent."

After negotiating with the owner she decided to buy it instead.

But nothing is for sale.

Suchman is giving everything -- toys, school supplies and stuffed animals -- to the homeless.

"Children is always my focus," said Suchman. "So that's why I realized a lot of foster kids get a lot of used things and I realized probably a lot of them never had, um, a birthday gift that they actually wanted."

Thousands of homeless children in the city will now have at least one present to open from Suchman's generous purchase.
