Reuniting Kids With Their Stuffy's After Tragedy - A Conversation With Amanda From The Lost Stuffy Project

In a world that can sometimes feel chaotic and uncertain, there’s something undeniably special about a child’s bond with their favorite stuffed animal. That’s where The Lost Stuffy Project steps in—founded by the ever-compassionate Randy, a certified child life specialist with a heart as big as a teddy bear’s hug. This sweet and soulful initiative is on a mission to reunite children with their beloved stuffies lost during disasters like wildfires and floods.

With more than a hundred cherished comfort items already finding their way back home, each reunion tells a story of hope, resilience, and the power of kindness. From a timeworn pink bunny reuniting with its human decades later, to the quiet heroes who mend fur and fluff without expecting a dime in return—this project is pure heart in action.

Come along as Amanda Shankin shares some of the most touching tales from this incredible journey, and see how one lost stuffy can bring an entire family a little peace, a little comfort—and a lot of love. 🧸💛
