Something to Cuddle: A Soft Toy

Entering foster care is unfamiliar and can be very frightening for young children, who often arrive at Berry Street with little or no possessions. 

Receiving a soft toy can help a distressed child feel comforted, and give them something to cuddle if they feel anxious or afraid.  

Help provide comfort to a young child with the gift of a soft toy to cuddle.

You can give a gift yourself, or on behalf of your loved ones. You can let others know of the gift via a personalised e-card, or through a personalised card you can print at home.

Help give children like Amy a sense of belonging and comfort

Amy* arrived on her foster carer’s doorstep with only a plastic bag and a few possessions. Amy’s foster carer, Mary, soon found out that this little girl had never slept in a made bed or been taught how to use a knife and fork. She could barely write her own name and her teeth had so many cavities that it hurt for her to eat.

New pyjamas and a blanket from Berry Street helped Amy overcome the overwhelming emotions of the day. 

“It must have been such a long time since she’d been given anything new, and entirely her own. It was hard not to cry, seeing what a big deal it was for her to be in clean, new pyjamas,” said Amy’s foster carer. 

For children who have missed out on so much, a special gift at a distressing time can help provide comfort to children like Amy.
