On July 17, 2014, our seven-year-old son, Ryan, was tragically killed in a boating accident while we were on a family vacation at Lake Burton, Georgia. One moment we were living a perfect summer day, and the next, our world was shattered.
We loved and admired Ryan beyond words. He was incredibly smart, funny, fearless, and full of love—a true joy to be around. He loved music and was always ready to show off his dance moves. His sense of humor seemed far beyond his years, and we often joked that he might grow up to be the next Jimmy Fallon. He was both an old soul and a sweet little boy. Ryan was just really cool, and countless people told us his smile lit up a room and brightened their day.

We give new stuffed animals to children in need of comfort, reminding them that they are not alone and that others care. Our mission is to inspire hope and share love with children facing significant life challenges. Many have been abused or neglected, moving from one temporary living situation to another with no sense of security. Some are grieving a tragic loss or confronting serious illness, while others live in extreme poverty.
We believe that the simple gift of something to cuddle can provide comfort, a sense of security, and a tangible expression of compassion—healing to a hurting heart.
In order to sustain our ability to give and not rely solely on donations, we sell “Little Hugs” stuffed animals with all profits going toward giving.
