(Stuffed Toy) Buffalos for Good Neighbors!

(Yes, you can get one for yourself too!)

Yes! I want to buy a refugee kid their first toy in America!

Imagine being little and coming to a strange new country after the trauma of escaping from your home. After years of upheaval in a refugee camp, your family has only the possessions it can carry to the other side of the world for your new life in America. Toys are probably not a priority over important documents and clothes. When you get here, your only friends are likely the few family members who came with you.

Now imagine the uncertain look on that kid’s face turning to joy when they walk into their new home and are greeted by a brand-new plush stuffed buffalo of their very own! The buffalo is 12 inches long and has a neckerchief that says, “Welcome” with the International Institute of Buffalo logo.

It’s their new toy! Their new pal…all thanks to you!If you’re feeling particularly generous, you can purchase these stuffed buffalos for more than one child. In fact, you can even get one for yourself to remind you of your generosity to these brave young children. It’s perfect for the season of giving!

If stuffed buffalos aren’t a gift you want to consider, you can still bring them joy by getting a gift from our toy registry.
