Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Hello! I am running the Cuddles for Courage community service project. Cuddles for Courage is a heartfelt community service project with a simple yet impactful mission: to offer comfort, security, and warmth to children in foster care or those who have recently been adopted from challenging or traumatic situations.
This initiative focuses on collecting new or gently loved stuffed animals, which can provide a tangible source of solace and emotional support during times of transition.
For many of these children, a stuffed animal can serve as a symbol of safety and unconditional love, helping them feel protected and cared for as they navigate uncertain and often difficult circumstances. By bringing together compassionate individuals who want to make a difference, Cuddles for Courage aims to create a lasting impact, one hug at a time.
Donors choose will help us receive brand new plushies that will be given to kids who have recently been adopted or are currently in foster care. Please help us bring some joy to these kids!
More than half of students from low‑income households
