Cuddles for Cancer

Cuddles for Cancer Faith Dickinson created Cuddles for Cancer when she was only 9 years old. What began as a summer project has grown into a globally recognized organization.

To date, more than 12,000 blankets have been & they’ve been sent to over 50 countries worldwide 💗 Faith created Cuddles for Cancer when she was just nine years old. After hearing that cancer patients often got cold during their treatments, Faith came up with the idea of making fleece blankets, hoping it would bring patients warmth, comfort and love. Since then, she has raised over $15,000 to help

her make 700+ of her cuddle blankets. They have been sent all across Canada, the U.S. and to France, England and Australia. She has also created a signature 'soldier' blanket for her "Sponsor a Soldier" campaign for soldiers overseas and those suffering from injuries or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, many of these blankets have been sent to Afghanistan and Kuwait. She recently launched a campaign called Kids at Christmas, asking the community to sponsor a child to ensure every child admitted to her local hospital is given a cuddle blanket on Christmas Eve.

DYK that our Founder, Faith was only nine years old when she created Cuddles for Cancer?

What began as a summer project has grown into a recognized organization known around the world! To date, our blankets have been sent to over fifty countries worldwide and we’ve made more than 13,000 blankets! The majority of our blankets do remain locally in our community.

We believe that every blanket has a story, that’s 13,000 stories! 13,000 lives touched 🫶

This is what $1,000 worth of fleece looks like!

I was finally able to pick up all of the signature fleece for our blanket making session with the Peterborough Cadets this Fall, thanks to Angels of Flight. They generously sponsored the event!

And, I was able to purchase $500 worth of fleece for tomorrow’s blanket making session and next weeks! I was short $300, but I was able to put it on the C4C credit card.

We are so grateful for your ongoing support! Your donations make our work possible!

DYK that for the past 14 years, we visit schools all over Ontario, making blankets together?

They raise the funds, we purchase the fleece and bring our scissors, then we lay out all of the supplies on the gym floor and the students make blankets with us. Then, we donate them all!

If any kids have a family member who are fighting cancer or just lost someone to cancer, we make sure we give them a blanket privately afterwards, and to their siblings as well.

We love what we do ❤️

(this includes public schools, private schools, Catholic schools and summer camps)
