Roberta (Bert) Harper: Hugaroo, Inc. CEO
Hugaroo, Inc. is about our daughters. The memory of Morgan who lost the cancer battle and honoring Jenna who learned that "life is not fair, but life is good" and took the first steps to "make a difference". I believe that God has a larger plan for our family that would hold Morgan close to us, "only a prayer away". Hugaroo is the opportunity for us to give back the love, prayers, courage, care and hugs that Morgan and our entire family received in that short/long 6 months of fighting cancer. Everyone has a story and becoming a donor allows many to "pay it forward".

Matthew Emmer: Communications Specialist
Hugaroo is one of those minimalist charities with a maximum impact. Every donation goes directly into the arms of a child who is in desperate need of a little comfort in their lives. The simple concept resonated deeply with me and I knew I wanted to help in any way that I could. I'm fortunate to be able to work alongside some amazing people doing some incredible things to make the world a little better, one hug at a time.

Caden Masek: Hugaroo Intern
Since first learning about Hugaroo, I’ve felt a compassion to help this organization. I genuinely believe that stuffed animals or any selection of objects which help children grow attachments greatly contribute to their development and ability to cope through traumatic events. I hope more children can experience this sense of love felt by a stuffed animal, which Hugaroo helps bring to children. As a child with a great selection of stuffed animals that were a big part of my childhood, I understand the importance of this organization and yearn to help it as much as possible to reach new sights.
