Mission: Mission Susie Q’s Kids provides comfort bags to kids in need: sick kids battling an illness, foster kids adapting to a new life, kids in shelters feeling safe, trafficked and bullied kids finding peace, autistic kids exploring new ideas, grieving kids learning to cope with their loss, and suicidal kids finding the hope to continue on. Each bag provides a soft bear to cuddle, a fuzzy blanket to stay warm, hygiene items to refresh them as they start their new day, inspirational items to motivate them, and journals, coloring books, crayons, games, to make the moments easier to manage.
Results: Even during COVID - 1300 Kids Were Reached in 2020 and provided comfort bags and itemsWe were named "Community Partner of the Year" by the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention for our contributions to the mental health of our kids and young adults (older folks too). Additional, we have spoken and participated with the National Association Mental Health (NAMI), Barb Smith Suicide Resource, SHRM, and Susan G. Komen cancer events.
Target demographics: Children in need in hospitals/health situations, foster care, shelters, or those grieving the loss of loved ones
Direct beneficiaries per year: 1300 children in need
Geographic areas served: Furthering our mission to provide comfort bags to kids in need
Programs: Susie Q’s Kids partners with established non-profits to distribute our comfort bags to kids in their programs, such as hospitals, shelters, foster care, and agencies that help those grieving the loss of loved ones. Participants from businesses, churches, local groups, and individuals provide material support and our wonderful volunteers make it happen. Through our speaking engagements, bag stuffing events, and donation drives, our Kids in Philanthropy approach of “Kids Helping Kids” provides kids with an opportunity to help, focus their efforts on good in the community, and enhance their emotional connection to other kids in need. We strive to address the physical, emotional, and mental health of kids giving and receiving through our comfort bag program as we provide comfort bags to kids in need, “one bag at a time”, and create some normalcy, relief, and support during what can be an incredibly stressful time for a child. Together, we can make a difference in the life of a child.
