A Plea For Help
The KidsKnowIt Network in Salt Lake City, Utah is working with Loving Hugs Inc., a non-profit charity, to collect New and GENTLY USED stuffed animals to send to the children who are suffering in Haiti as well as other children around the world who find themselves in difficult circumstances. Please Help Us.
We will be delivering stuffed animals directly into the arms of these children, who are in need of a hug. The mental anguish of the tragedies that they are facing is unimaginable. These children need a friend to hold close, and to love.
- Please Tweet, Email, and Facebook this request to all your contacts. Help us collect as many stuffed animals as possible.
- Secondly, Please call your family and friends, your students, your coworkers, and round up stuffed animals.
- Please send these stuffed animals via UPS, FedEx, or USPS, to the address listed below.

Why Stuffed Animals?
There are numerous individuals and groups all around the world who are donating countless hours, time, money, talents, and resources in helping to relieve the suffering of these children.
Our hearts break to see the suffering, and we want to do our part. The mission of our company is to help children. We are particularly concerned about them in this situation, and want to do what we can to have a real impact.
We believe that after food, water, and shelter (which many others are working hard to take care of) the thing that they are in most need of is love. Because we cannot hug each one of them, we are instead sending hugs to them. Please help us.
Checks or Cash will also be accepted. Make checks payable to Loving Hugs Inc. Please include a return address so that a receipt may be sent.
