My Project

I am requesting your support in providing comfort and relief to my students who are sensory-seeking children with autism. My students often experience heightened sensory sensitivities, and as a result, they struggle with feeling grounded and calm in their everyday environments. Weighted stuffed animals have been shown to provide a gentle, comforting pressure that helps reduce anxiety, improve focus, and support emotional regulation. These specially designed toys offer a sense of security, helping children feel more at ease and better equipped to handle their daily challenges.

With your generous donation, will will have weighted stuffed animals for children in our school who need them most.

Your contribution will directly help provide these life-changing tools, making a meaningful difference in the lives of children with autism and their families. Each weighted stuffed animal will be used to meet the sensory needs of children, offering them a soothing and therapeutic experience that is proven to support emotional well-being and overall development.
