Creature Comfort Foundation Delivers Plush Companions to City of Hope to Support Young Patients
Creature Comfort Foundation Brings Comfort and Hope to City of Hope
March 2025, Los Angeles, CA – Creature Comfort Foundation is proud to announce a meaningful donation to City of Hope, a renowned leader in pediatric cancer treatment and research. Through this partnership, we delivered a generous supply of Slumberkins Bigfoot and Sprite Kins to bring comfort, emotional support, and healing to young patients and their families facing difficult medical journeys.
City of Hope’s Child Life Program is dedicated to supporting children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, ensuring they receive comprehensive care that nurtures both their physical and emotional well-being. Our donation of Slumberkins plush companions was specially selected to provide a sense of security and comfort to children during hospital stays, treatments, and recovery.
A Special Focus on Emotional Support and Healing
Among the donated plush companions, the Sprite Kin holds special significance. Designed to help children process grief and loss, Sprite serves as a gentle, empathetic friend that offers reassurance during times of uncertainty. Each plushie comes with a beautifully crafted storybook that helps young patients and their families navigate emotions and find hope amid challenges.
Jo Ann Namm, M.S., CCLS, Manager of the Child Life Program at City of Hope, expressed the impact of these gifts:
“They are unique and deliver such great messages for fostering growth and development. Especially in helping a little one with the array of emotions they experience and giving parents a tool to instill virtues that parents want their children to have.”
The Power of Comfort in Pediatric Care
Creature Comfort Foundation’s mission is rooted in the belief that small acts of kindness can make a profound difference in the lives of children facing medical hardships. Since our founding, we have provided thousands of plush companions to hospitals across the country, offering moments of joy and relief to children in need.
“We are honored to support the incredible work of City of Hope,” said a representative from Creature Comfort Foundation. “Hospitals can be overwhelming places for children, and our goal is to provide comfort and emotional reassurance during their journey to healing. We believe that a soft, huggable companion can bring a little light to even the toughest days.”
