Hudson Valley Ambulance Squad Receives Generous Life Saving Gift

As someone who grew up always having a stuffed animal somewhere in the house, I can truly appreciate what it means to a child in a bad situation to have something to hug.

Hudson Valley Ambulance Squad Receives Important Gift

You are never too old for what I like to refer to as an "Emotional Stuffy". And if you are a young person who has been involved in a car accident or some other event that has caused a Hudson Valley ambulance to show up, a stuffed animal can be a best friend during a stressful time.

Who Takes Donations of New Stuffed Animals

Many groups accept donations of new stuffed animals, such as police departments, fire departments, and ambulance corps. The Town of Esopus Volunteer Ambulance Squad (TEVAS), for example, just received a very generous gift from the Nothing But Love Canine Foundation.

Not only did Nothing But Love Canine Foundation donate stuffed animals for TEVAS to have handy in the rigs, they also gave them something even more important for people's pets. They donated 3 pet oxygen masks.

Now, each ambulance and the TEVAS fly car all have a mask available for a pet in distress and a stuffed animal for their pediatric patients who care about the pets.
