Bringing Comfort to Brave Kids in the Bronx, NY
Creature Comfort Foundation Delivers Slumberkins Comfort to Pediatric Patients at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Einstein (CHAM) in the Bronx, New York
Creature Comfort Brings Big Hugs to The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Einstein
Bronx, NY April 2025
Creature Comfort Foundation is proud to announce our latest donation of Slumberkins Bigfoot and Alpaca Kins to the incredible pediatric patients at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Einstein (CHAM) in New York City.
Recognized nationally for excellence in pediatric care, CHAM is part of Montefiore Einstein, a leading academic health system that delivers outstanding medical services and compassionate care to children and families throughout the region. Our partnership with CHAM reflects our shared commitment to not just treating young patients medically, but supporting their emotional well-being every step of the way.
Through this special delivery, each child received a plush companion and an accompanying storybook designed to teach emotional resilience, manage stress, and build self-esteem. The feedback from patients and child life specialists has been truly moving:
"I didn't know they made books for kids about stress."
"I was feeling very stressed when I was in the hospital for a month and this will help me recognize my stress and learn to deal with it."
"Patient doesn’t like talking about stress or worries with family, so she is excited to use her new alpaca as a source of support!"
"Nadirah, age 6, was so excited to show off her reading skills to me and Bigfoot. We also practiced the affirmation at the end of the book together."
Talia Haviv, MSEd, CCLS, Senior Certified Child Life Specialist at CHAM, shared, "CHAM is so grateful for this new partnership."
One special moment included a visit from a Canine Companions service dog, who brought even more smiles and comfort to the children, truly reinforcing the healing power of compassion and connection.
At Creature Comfort Foundation, our mission is to deliver emotional support through plushies and ComfortKits to pediatric patients across the country. Every donation is designed to ease anxiety, offer strength, and remind children they are never alone.
Founded with the belief that every child deserves comfort during their medical journey, Creature Comfort Foundation partners with hospitals, medical professionals, and volunteers nationwide. Through our plush donations, coping Creature ComfortKits, and inspiring creature stories, we help transform fear into hope and healing—one small hug at a time.
Thank you to the incredible team at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Einstein for welcoming us with open arms. Together, we are making a difference—one hug, one story, and one brave child at a time.
