Sammie the Doodle
We are excited to announce our project:
Sammie's Bundles of Hope!
This project was born out of the realization that many children are in need of resources for coping with anxiety, trauma and/or PTSD symptoms.
We have started collecting items for our Sammie's Bundles of Hope . . . with the intention of dispersing a bag filled with "trinkets of hope" to each child Sammie works with in a Therapy Dog role.
We had a beautiful friend donate 150 draw string backpacks to start us out. We have collected stress balls, calming rocks, coloring books, markers, crayons, stickers and more! We feel blessed to know so many generous donors.
To donate any items (see Wish List), please contact us at sammiethedoodle@gmail.com. Thank you!
