Everyone who sends in his stuffed toys for contribution receives a letter expressing  gratitude and further explains how a generous giving has offered a second chance to live. The very purpose of this campaign is to simply generate joy among those who will donate, in the same manner teaching the kids and the entire family about the impact and tremendous effect of organ transplant in one’s well-being.
