With a background in mental health support, Frances understands firsthand how vital it is to nurture calm and reassurance in young hearts. She’s spent years developing the Calmness Crew, a collection of talking plushies designed to provide comfort and help kids articulate their feelings. With $500, Frances will donate these plush companions to local schools and children's centers, where they can make a real difference for kids grappling with anxiety or emotional distress. It's about offering a soft, cuddly anchor to help them navigate their inner storms.
