Cuddles with Kindness® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing comfort to kids in need. Our mission is to comfort children facing traumatic situations while amplifying our goal to inspire kindness and compassion, no matter your age. 

These kids could be sick in the hospital, have lost everything in a house fire, in a children’s home, or maybe have been through a natural disaster. The need for these fuzzy friends is endless. When going through a hard time, you often feel alone and you just need a reason to smile. Even though stuffed animals may not seem real or like a big deal to older kids and adults, to little kids they are everything. They are their best friends and playmates. 

We hope through Cuddles with Kindness® we can educate others on how easy it is to spread kindness no matter your age. We are proud to serve, at this time, approximately 5,000 children throughout Central Illinois.
