A Magical Moment at a Legacy Retreat®

Stepping into our Legacy Retreat® welcome dinner in St. Louis in July, you would have witnessed pure magic as families were greeted by tables overflowing with plush stuffed animals—a heartfelt gift from our amazing partners at SendAFriend.

The moment those cuddly companions appeared, the room shifted: anxious faces relaxed, laughter bubbled up, and joy lit up even the most worried eyes.
We can’t overstate what that moment meant. For families walking through some of life’s harshest storms, these stuffed animals aren’t just adorable toys—they become constant, comforting friends, providing something soft to squeeze during tough nights and something cheerful to remind them they’re not alone. Sometimes, joy sneaks in wearing fluffy ears and a goofy grin.

The Heart of SendAFriend

But here’s what truly makes SendAFriend remarkable. Their mission goes far beyond spreading smiles with plush stuffing and fur. Every care package packed by SendAFriend carries a personal note and a promise: someone out there cares. Through their Spread the Love Fund, they’re all-in on supporting communities facing trials—one stuffed friend and heartfelt message at a time.

How You Can Spread the Love

Those simple acts of kindness echoed throughout our retreat. Children picked their new buddies and parents found hope in seeing light return to their children’s eyes. Long after our welcome dinner ended, those moments traveled home in suitcases, on laps, and clutched in small arms, creating ripples of comfort that last.

Want to spark a little of that magic? Visit SendAFriend.co to discover how sending a fluffy friend can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary moment of connection, love, and hope. Small gestures can change everything—sometimes all it takes is a snuggly companion and a note that says, “You matter.”
