Stuffed Love

Stuffed Love Stuffed Love shares that little bit of hope through hand-stitched heart pillows and more! They are distributed in major hospitals in eighteen different states.

We are proud to say that we have distributed thousands of heart pillows per year to various people, from those with congenital heart defects to those battling homelessness and poverty. One of my main projects is creating hand-stitched heart pillows for Conquering CHD, a national organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for those affected by congenital heart defects. These pillows are th

en used in a variety of ways, from propping up IVs, easing pain after surgery, being a superhero toy, and serving as a memento for the difficult times the family has survived. Hearts in Illinois go to Level I Trauma Center hospitals Chicagoland hospitals: Advocate Oak Lawn, Advocate Park Ridge, Rush, Comers Children’s Hospital, Lurie Children’s Hospital. We also help veterans, seniors, the developmentally disabled, the sick, and children in hospitals. We are honored to be able to share that little bit of hope with as many people as we can.

❤️ Wash Smart Lavanderia Leading by Example ❤️

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with Olivia from Wash Smart, and I left inspired. When two organizations share the same goal — helping our neighbors and strengthening our community — great things can happen.

Wash Smart has already stepped up to support families served by Stuffed Love through donations and resources, and we are excited to explore even more ways to work together. Partnerships like these help us reach more people, provide more support, and create a greater impact for those who need it most.

A huge thank you to Olivia and the entire Wash Smart team for believing in community and taking action.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Because of their courage, dedication, and selfless sacrifice, we enjoy the freedoms we cherish every day.

As we gather with family and friends, let us never forget those who gave everything for our country and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

May we honor their legacy through gratitude, kindness, and service to others.
