Helping children one bag at a time
“Susie Q’s Kids is the primary provider forour emergency comfort bags that we distribute”
“Having comfort items while in the hospital can make a huge impact on a child’s overall well-being during their hospitalization. Donataions create some normalcy, relief, and support during what can be an incredibly stressful time for a child.”
”As a former foster child myself, I can tell you that it would have meant a lot to me to have received such a gift. I believe it gives the children a ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak time in their lives, and thus extends hope. Susie Q’s Kids is a nonprofit that makes a positive difference in hurting children, and I can’t think of a more worthy cause.”
“Dr. Mary Welsh, the co-founder of Susie Q’s Kids, a 501c3 non-profit created in honor of her late daughter Susie McBride-Welsh, was the nonprofit I chose to support during my Pinpoints of Light Childhood & Sexual Abuse Awareness and Healing Conference. We focused our efforts on healing and comfort, and Dr. Mary Welsh’s nonprofit matched perfectly. Her professionalism, organization, and source of light and positivity were amazing.”
“After personally experiencing the loss of my father at age 14, I can attest to the power behind the four aspects of positive reflection: remembering, reflecting, recreating, and relating. Additionally, I am confident that receiving a comfort bag will assure a child that they are not alone during a devastating time in their lives and that there is hope for their future, and that joy is on their horizon.”
“Susie Q’s Kids is a terrific organization. The care bags they provide are a blessing to the children receiving them. The fact that Susie Q’s Kids does this by partnering with other non-profits that actually deliver the bags makes this a selfless organization that is more interested in helping these children than in getting credit for doing so.”
“Susie Q’s Kids and Dr. Mary are a wonderful supporters to New Hope Center for Grief Support. The comfort bags are especially helpful for new young grievers to feel hugged and a little special during their time of loss of a loved one. We have shared them with families who are in early grief. A truly outstanding organization!… thank you, Susie Qs Kids!”

They regularly provide comfort bags, blankets, socks, and other items to those in need. I’m so thankful for everything they do to make our community a better place.”
“It is Love in a bag. They provide these backpacks to hospitals, foster care, shelters. Wherever there is a child in need they try to be there. They also customize the bags for the locations they are going to. To make them age appropriate as well as specific things to help the child in their current situation. Love in a bag.”
“Susie Qs Kids is a passionate outreach of Dr. Mary Welsh. This non-profit provides comfort and encouragement to children struggling with various life challenges through their Comfort Bags.

“The children at Care House have been enjoying the backpacks that Susie Q’s Kids have provided for us. We have received much feedback about the items inside and how happy it made them feel to receive such a care package! Your donation and kindness is making a difference to the families we serve. Thank you for thinking of Care House”
“You donated these wonderful bags for our kids. Today is our Field Day and we hid 8 tickets around the center for all the kids to find. If they find one they get to keep one of your bags 🙂 They had so much fun with your bag and we enjoyed them a lot. I want to thank the Eagles Foundation of Michigan and you for all that you do. You really made a lot of kids smile today.”
