The story behind Squishmallows is to help children and adults with depression, ADHD, anxiety, feeling alone, have someone to cuddle with to keep their fear and feeling alone go away.. They are squishy and lovable, it is why my passion was to sell these to help those that need a special friend to love. I have my own collection of them and my nieces cannot leave my house without one. They are adorable and bring so much pleasure.
