Little Stars Kids Cuddle Cases Program provides brand new Cases and Duffle bags to children entering foster care in Queensland. Children entering care are extremely distressed and leaving everything they know behind, their bed, their clothes, their friends, their toys and their school friends. Our Cuddle Cases provide children with comfort and essential items at an extremely traumatic time. During 2020 we have provided over 300 Cuddle Cases to the Department of Child Safety and Foster Agencies and residential care facilities around Brisbane.
