The world we live in today is, for lack of better words, pretty crazy. There are a lot of bad things that happen all over the world. There are wars being fought abroad and on our own streets and in our own neighborhoods. One of the largest and hugely devastating is the war against hunger that ravages people all over the world. There are detrimental numbers of children, especially, that are hungry every day, without knowing when their next meal will be. Though this fact is horrifying there is a beam of hope. The cuddle+kind dolls were started and created to help battle hunger. They help to spread the message of hope and caring and also to fill hungry bellies along the way. Started by a small family, they are doing some amazing things and have dedicated their time and hearts to helping feed needy, hungry children. Please, join us to fill hungry bellies with cuddle+kind.
The Woodgates are a family of five that saw a huge problem and wanted to help anyway they could. With a health knowledgeable background, they understand how important good nutrition is for growing kids. Children need a healthy diet for better brain development, stronger immune systems to fight disease, and better overall performance so they be the best kid they can possibly be. The Woodgates, after watching a documentary about world hunger, realized how widespread the problem of hunger is.
As the Woodgates made their move to help with the cuddle+kind dolls to battle hunger, I want to help by spreading the word. It is easy for us to avert our attention, but hunger is worldwide and that means the U.S. and Canada also. By encouraging and informing our readers about their efforts, hopefully you will do the same and spread your message too. Here is some information about the cuddle+kind dolls and the drive to provide 1 million meals a year! Right now, we can all help simply by following Indiegogo. Until October 18th, there will be 1 meal donated for every follow that cuddle+kind receives on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. That’s a total of 3 meals for just following an already incredible cause. Join us!

There are 9 cuddle+kind dolls, each with a specific birthday, story, and even their own motto. They are perfect gifts for baby showers, birthdays, holidays, and just if you need a cuddle buddy. Each cuddle+kind doll has their favorite quote that you can get on an unframed print and that print will provide an additional 5 meals as well. I have to tell you a little about each one because I loved getting to know them because it helps me to choose which one I’ll get for my nieces and nephews.
- Isla the mermaid – “Throw kindness around like confetti.”
- Pearl the mermaid – “Anything is possible when you believe in yourself.”
- Everest the penguin – “Leave the world a little better than you found it.”
- Willow the deer – “Dream big, little one”
- Scout the deer – “Follow your heart- It always knows where it’s going.”
- Chelsea the cat – “If you can be anything be kind.”
- Chloe the bunny – “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go.”
- Benedict the bunny – “The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
- Maximus the cat “Start each day with a grateful heart.”
I am partial to Isla and Pearl because I always dreamed of being a mermaid. So, I guess the next best thing is to cuddle up with one. My nieces love kitties and bunnies, so Chloe and Chelsea are sure to have a home with them. Everest the penguin is going to make my mother a great new friend and Scout the deer is definitely going to spend some time looking after my nephew. I think it is a great message to teach young kids to dream big, be positive, and truly be grateful for all that they have because there are so many that are suffering.
The cuddle+kind dolls are a soft and sweet reminder that even something that seems small can make the biggest difference to one child. It takes just one person to start a ripple and that ripple can turn into a wave of giving, love, and caring. So, what are you waiting for? Start your ripple and preorder one of your cuddle+kind dolls and their special quotes of hope!
