A father-daughter duo has become a YouTube hit with their toy reviews as a way to raise awareness for autism.
Miguel Figueroa says when he asked his daughter if she could do a YouTube show she replied to him that she couldn't because she had autism. That's when Figueroa was determined to show his daughter that she could and the two launched Toy Quest 101.
The pair unboxes and reviews different toys on the YouTube show.
"When we started doing this, I was really happy to do this with my dad and all these people out there who is watching it," says Illiana Figueroa.
Since they started in 2017, they have made more than 100 videos and interviewed celebrities. Now, they have more than 118,000 subscribers.
"I really love helping people and it makes me happy to see other people happy," says Illiana.
