About Cuddles for Courage
Our Cause
Welcome to Cuddles for Courage! We are a charity organization dedicated to providing comfort to children in emergency rooms through the gift of stuffed animals. Each stuffed animal serves as a source of joy and security, helping to ease anxiety and fear during challenging medical situations. Our goal is to ensure every child who enters an emergency room has a cuddly companion by their side offering warmth and support during their time of need. We believe that a simple gesture can make a significant impact, and we are committed to brightening the lives of young patients, reminding them that they are not alone on their journey to recovery.
100% of donations go to the purchase of stuffed animals.
How We Started
Cuddles for Courage was founded by a brother and sister who were inspired by there mother, who is an emergency room physician. Their mother would often tell them stories about children in the ER with painful injuries who suffered traumatic events. The siblings journey began with lemonade stands where they raised money to purchase stuffed animals for pediatric emergency rooms. As the children grew older, they moved on from their lemonade stands. Their commitment to helping others only deepened, leading to the creation of this heartfelt initiative focused on providing and support to children and families during challenging times.
Today, our goal is to create a positive impact by distributing these comforting stuffed animals to those in need. We believe that a small gesture spread smiles and bring hope in the midst of adversity. Join us in our mission to bring warmth and care to young patients and their families, ensuring they feel supported when it matters most.
