Hugs for Healing

Meet Hugs the bear!​

Hugs is on a mission — to share comfort and kindness with kids who need it most. When you purchase a Hugs for Healing Bear, you’re not just buying a teddy bear — you’re sending love and healing to a child in need. Each bear purchased is collected and personally delivered to brighten a child’s day and remind them they’re not alone.

We had the opportunity to share the heart behind Hope. Love. Smile. on CBS 62—and to talk about why this mission means so much to our family. Grateful for the chance to shine a light on Hugs for Healing, our daughter Emme’s story, and the incredible community that continues to show up with open hearts.

This is just the beginning. Thank you for being part of it.

Hugs for Healing, Delivered

Every bear you see in this video represents something bigger than a donation. It’s a moment of comfort. A reminder that someone cares. A hug when families need it most.

 

This is what Hugs for Healing looks like in action—packing each bear with intention, delivering them with love, and sharing them with children and families inside the hospital. 

Each bear is thoughtfully prepared, paired with a handwritten note, and delivered directly to children and families receiving care. These bears aren’t just toys. They’re something a child can hold onto during an unfamiliar, overwhelming moment.

 

For parents, they’re a small reminder that their child is seen.

For kids, they’re a new friend during a tough day.

For us, they’re proof that small acts of kindness matter.
