Creature Comfort Foundation Strengthens Partnership With Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Through New Donation of ComfortKits and Spanish-Language Resources
Loma Linda, CA — Creature Comfort Foundation is proud to highlight its ongoing partnership with Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, delivering a new donation of ComfortKits, Slumberkins, and newly released Spanish-language informational cards designed to support families during pediatric medical care. This donation continues the foundation’s mission to bring comfort, courage, and connection to children navigating difficult hospital experiences.
Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital is a leading provider of pediatric healthcare in Southern California, known for its compassionate, family-centered approach and innovative child life services.

Erika Kobayashi, M.S., CCLS, Child Life Specialist in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, shared:
“Thank you so much for sending these… they will definitely make a difference for our Spanish-speaking families. I truly appreciate all you do and I continue to look forward to partnering with you and Creature Comfort!”
