‘Kuddles 4 Kids’ Helps Comfort Young Tornado Victims

In the aftermath of theJoplin tornado, many organizations and individuals in the Lake Area are collecting money and supplies to assist the people there. When School of the Osage sixth grader Sydney Hulett heard what was happening, she wanted to help. “I just thought about all the kids not having anything to play with … and sleeping in strange places,” she told “Ozarks in the Morning.” So, she’s organizing Kuddles 4 Kids, asking people to donate new or gently-used stuffed animals to help comfort the children. Hulett says she and her father hope to deliver the stuffed animals to Joplin next week.
