Susie's Critters

“Susie’s Critters began making handmade stuffed animals in 2011 for the ER room pediatric patients at Hemet Valley Medical Center. The ministry included my grandmother and mother but my grandmother passed away in 2014 and my mother and I continue the ministry. We deliver 50 cute stuffed animals every week to the ER. We make 12 different stuffed animals including duck, dolphin, crab, giraffe, elephant, cat, dog, seahorse, turtle, horse, rabbit, and we donate approximately 2600 per year since 2011.

My late grandmother has always volunteered and found something she was still able to do that benefited others, her nickname was Susie, so we named them after her “Susie’s Critters.” shared Carolyn McCormack
