Critters Who Care

August 15, 2008 · Filed Under Fun With Pre-wrap 

If you are reading this, chances are you are an athletic teen or the parent of one. Our days are full - running from practices, games, camps, and school.  It’s easy to forget how lucky we are!   A friend of mine also has a home business with her kids and runs a great site called Critters Who Care.

Critters Who Care is an amazing organization whose mission is to lessen the pain of children who have suffered traumatic events in their young lives. Some of these children have been removed from their homes because of abuse, some children have a parent in hospice care or are in hospice care themselves and some have lost a young sibling to a tragic event.

Children are innocent and inexperienced in the harsh realities of life, so knowing someone in the world cares for them can make a huge difference in the way they view their lives. A simple stuffed animal may not seem like a big deal to adults but often it becomes the child’s prized possession in his or her world of fear or grief.

Many of us had regular childhoods where we were oblivious to all the bad things in the world. Unfortunately, many of the children we help live in a constant state of fear: fear of being abandoned when a parent dies, fear of dying themselves, or fear that their abuser will come back to hurt them.

Their actions are simple. They deliver soft and cuddly unstuffed animal skins to children who need a friend the most. Everything they need to stuff their animal with love is included, even a rainbow star that they can wish upon before putting it inside their animal. In the case of hospice situations, grief counselors are often involved helping the children process their grief as they work with the animals.

Please us help support this amazing cause!  Today a percentage of our sales are going to Critters Who Care!  Join us or get your own critter to donate here: Donate Now!
