Cozy-hearted Blankets is not just a brand; it is a heartfelt journey that began from a deeply personal space. In 2018, my family was struck by tragedy. At only six months old, my sister’s son passed away. My nephew, Theo, was born with congenital heart disease (CHD) and died of complications following three open-heart surgeries. He spent his entire six months of life in the hospital. As I watched my sister lose her baby, I felt utterly helpless and wished I could have brought her more comfort — no family should have to endure what we went through, but in reality, so many do. CHD is the most common birth defect affecting ~40,000 babies every year. It is the #1 cause of birth defect-related deaths in infants.
The loss of Theo hit a whole different kind of hard when I became a Mom in 2021. The hospital doors I was wheeled out of with my newborn were the same doors my sister walked out of without a baby to take home. At that moment, I knew I had to do more.
Our blankets are a symbol of peaceful comfort, crafted from soft and sustainable materials that get softer with every wash. Our range includes baby lovey sizes and generously sized throws in a variety off earthy colors, catering to the neutral and simple lifestyle and aesthetic. What sets us apart is our commitment to giving back – 25% of our profits are donated to Project Bubaloo, a WI-based non-profit founded by my sister, Theo's Mama. Project Bubaloo is dedicated to funding congenital heart disease research and raising awareness and has raised over $750,000 to date.
By choosing Cozy-hearted, you not only bring warmth and comfort into your life but also contribute to a meaningful cause. I invite you to join the Cozy-hearted family and experience the joy of purposeful living. Thank you so much for being here, it's been quite the journey so far.
From my heart to yours,
