Unfortunately, every day in America many children are caught in traumatic, emotional, and transitional situations. That's why in 1997 Cammie Sanders, 2002 Ms. Florida US Continental founded Stuffed Animals For Emergencies (SAFE), to give these children a little joy during these troubling times. SAFE volunteers collect new and gently used stuffed animals and toys to be redistributed to Police, Fire & Rescue, Ambulance Services, Children's Homes, Hospitals, Life Flight, and other emergency organizations. These emergency organizations use the stuffed animals to ease the children's nerves and calm their fears. These donations let the children know you care and give them hope in a world that at times seems so very cold.
