Project Cuddle
California
|
Project Cuddle® is the result of one woman's crusade to
help prevent infants from being abandoned. Debbie Magnusen fostered over 30
drug-exposed babies, while raising two biological children. They eventually
adopted five beautiful little ones. Thus, Project Cuddle's®
crisis line was formed from the living room of her home, with the hope of
ending baby abandonment.

On July 8, 1996, the 24 hour toll-free crisis hotline was unveiled to the
public. Within 12 hours, Project Cuddle® received its
first crisis call.

Statistics indicate that 57 children are abandoned everyday, that's over 20,000
a year and these are only the ones that are found. Since it's inception, Project
Cuddle® has saved 548 babies across the
country!
