About Us

Comfort in Stitches is nonprofit driven by a heartfelt mission. Our founder, Riyaben Bhakta, a passionate crocheter with a deep love for crafting, envisioned a world where everyone, no matter the circumstances, could experience the warmth of a handmade stuffed animal while also understanding that there is somebody who cares about them and is there for them. Inspired by her own experiences and the profound impact that supporting words and a simple stuffed animal brings, she established this nonprofit to bring smiles and solace to those in need. Through our work, we are determined to leave a positive impact in many lives. Our Comfort Boxes get donated to Orphanages, Homeless Shelters, and Hospitals.

Our Mission

Our Comfort Boxes aim to bring warmth and joy to individuals facing challenges, brightening their lives as much as possible.
