A Hug Box can also contain a simple, personalized request for something that will brighten a child’s day. For example, Julia’s Grace ® has provided tickets to a Broadway show with dinner or a day at the zoo. This personalized Hug Box can be a simple surprise based on a child’s likes. They can also be specific request for an activity or an event that a child and family would like to do.
These are typically local in nature and do not require extensive travel. Personalized H ug Boxes can be requested through a social worker or child life worker with our Hug Request Form (found below).
