The Nuddle Blanket and Joyful Heart Foundation have collaborated to create the Joyful Nuddle, a Nuddle blanket to support the foundation.

Mariska said, “I am so pleased to add the Joyful Nuddle to our Heartshop. All the products we sell to benefit Joyful Heart are designed to inspire, offer comfort and assist in the healing journey. I can’t think of a better way to remind survivors of the way we hold them in our hearts — with an abundance of care and support — than the Joyful Nuddle.”

Donate to JHF from your Phone

Lisa — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:40:48 +0000

Mariska has just updated her official blog to let people know that if you own a AT&T mobile phone you can donate to JHF through a new mobile platform called “CharityCall”.

Truist has unveiled a new mobile platform—CharityCall—that allows anyone on the AT&T Wireless network to instantly donate $25 to the charity of their choice—including the Joyful Heart Foundation. It’s safe and easy and takes less than a minute. The $25 goes straight onto your wireless bill, so you don’t even need to enter any financial information.

You’ll also receive deep gratitude on my part, for the hearts your donation will help Joyful Heart open. We just couldn’t do what we do without you.

So next time you make a call, remember that you can make a difference, too. And while your at it, text a friend about CharityCall.

Many, many thanks.
