“Thank you so much for your generosity. 

I'd love to share these with the survivors we work with! Learning to love yourself after experiencing abuse is a process and we talk often with our survivors about taking care of themselves. These will be a lovely reminder to practice that love.”

"The Buddy Bear and matching book have been a game changer as my daughter has grown into a fierce, strong-willed, beautiful little girl with her own personality. The book has really helped my husband and I navigate how to help her with these big emotions that she is experiencing, but just isn't quite sure how to handle. Having tools like this are so incredibly helpful for first-time parents especially, but for all parents because no one gives you a manual when raising kiddos. My daughter has started to reach for this book every night before bed, and I can't wait to utilize more from the Healing House portfolio. Incredible, necessary, and life-changing! Five stars!"

“We are beyond excited to be able to provide such a healing message to our entire elementary school. Initiatives such as this are so very important for young children. So, the thanks really should go out to you, your vision, and hard work!”

“We have several patients with Chronic Illnesses that have to come in regularly for infusion treatments.  It is hard to be a kid and have to deal with a chronic condition and the treatments needed to help them.  Several kids come in monthly, some every other week!  Having IV’s started and sitting in the hospital maybe missing school or other activities isn’t always easy, not to mention dealing with the condition itself.  The bears meant so much to these young patients, they give them strength through the hard parts!”

“I just wanted to thank you, again, for donating the healing crystals.  Our therapists have been grateful to be able to offer them to their clients.  We really appreciate you!!”

"As a small nonprofit working with survivors of trauma, we were grateful to receive a donation of Buddy Bears from Healing House. We love sharing the bears with kids who need extra support in practicing their newly acquired mindfulness skills. They are helpful and beautiful!"

“This is a book that parents should read to their young children who are or will be attending school and being separated from Mom and Dad for the first time. Like the first day of school which can be TRAMATIC for young minds. The book outlines what a simple thing like a "Buddy Bear" can give comfort and confidence to young children being away from Mom for the first time. Highly recommend this book for all parents in talking to their young children. It will instill confidence and most importantly "kindness".
