​

It all started in June 2024, Hugs From Friends sent 1,000 Beanie Babies & Art to Children in Ukraine, they arrived safely at Ukrainian NGO Voices of Children in August, where they were distributed to children and families. ​The children and families loved receiving the beanie babies so much, that we decided to keep the campaign going. You can still sponsor a shipment of beanie babies, create artwork or if you have beanie babies and would like to donate them, contact us.  

​​​

How you can help: ​

​1. Sponsor the shipping cost for a beanie baby (see below).​

2. Donate new or gently used Beanie Babies.

3. Spread the word!
