Samantha's Higgy Bears Fundraiser

As many of you know, I had Chiari Decompression surgery at Boston Children's Hospital in the summer of 2021. It was the beginning of my journey with scoliosis. That fall, I started wearing a back brace 21 hours a day - it's been hard, but I've been doing it so that my curve goes down and doesn't get worse in the future. On my journey, I found this really cool non-profit company called Higgy Bears that makes stuffed animals with a back brace designed for scoliosis patients like me. I got a Higgy Bears brace for my bunny when I started wearing my brace, and it helped me feel better. For my Bat Mitzvah Project, I've decided to raise money to buy as many Higgy Bears as possible to donate to kids that are dealing with scoliosis at a children’s hospital. I will be able to pick out the animals and brace patterns and get to personally take them to the Children's Hospital to donate.

I would like to reach my goal of donating 50 higgy bears to kids with scoliosis. My goal is to raise $1,750 which would cover the cost of 50 higgy bears with a brace on each one (each bear costs $35 dollars but any amount is appreciated)
