I want say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who voted on which Raffy you liked best! I loved seeing your comments and watching everyone pick their favorite heart!
And… your voices were heard…
✨ Meet the new Raffy… the RED HEART Raffy! ❤️🐻
THANK YOU for being part of this journey, for cheering Raffy on, sharing ideas, asking questions, and believing in what we’re building. It truly means so much.
For anyone new here wondering… Raffy is an AI interactive emotional support companion being created to help children going through cancer, trauma, or simply learning how to cope with emotions.
And… I’m actually in Chicago right now because tomorrow I’ll be attending the Child Life Conference with Raffy!
One of the sessions I’ll be taking is on how AI can be brought into Child Life practices because I want to ensure Raffy is created not only with love, but also shaped by what Child Life specialists feel would best help support children emotionally through difficult moments and big feelings.
I’m excited to learn, make connections, listen, and continue growing Raffy in a way that truly serves children and families.
Wish us luck… Raffy and I have a big day tomorrow! ❤️🐻
