Through partnerships with local school districts, we provide equipment to students through our TRAID Program. One student received an animatronic cat, and the connection was immediate. The student bonded with it right away and found a sense of safety and calm throughout the school day. They even incorporated the cat into a school project, which makes this story even more special and a clear example of why this work matters. 💙🐈
