We are still collecting Beanie Babies

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. We especially love seeing children draw artwork inspired by their Beanie Babies!
Here is how you can still help:
1. Sponsor the shipping cost for a beanie baby (see below).
2. Donate new or gently used Beanie Babies.
3. Spread the word!
YOU can help us ship more beanie babies by sponsoring shipping cost:
1 beanie baby = $1.20
5 beanie babies = $6.00
10 beanie babies = $12.00
20 beanie babies = $24.00
Please add “Beanie Baby Sponsor” in the note field.
