a post from the budsies company that says "Seeing the devastation of the LA fires has broken our hearts. We are a team of artists who specialize in creating custom stuffed animals, including recreating lost or old stuffies. We know nothing can replace the original, but we'd be honored to try and recreate the plushie, free of charge. Families, please email our team at support@budsies.com. For anyone interested in helping donate plushies, please email BudsiesPals@Budsies.com"ALT

The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.

Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who’ve lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺

this could actually really help the morale of the people over there. People often underestimate how much of the damage caused by fires is emotional (as opposed to purely financial). Comforting blankets, photos, books, stuffed animals, all the familiar things children and even parents derive a sense of security and comfort from ripped away from them for no good reason. this may not be much, but getting a kid a little stuffed animal to hug while his parents try to find a place to live… the emotional benefit is enormous. And if they aren’t able to find a place to live, this might be all they have for a long time.
