After finding out her estranged grandfather had been homeless for six years, Addisyn was motivated to take action and founded Snuggle Sacks, a non-profit that provides bags filled with basic necessities for those in need. From filling her first 50 bags with toiletries and snacks back in 2015 at the age of 10, Snuggle Sacks distributes over 1,000 bags per month. We are proud to partner with Addisyn for the months of Feb & March - 20% of all online sales proceeds will be donated to Snuggle Sacks.

We asked Addisyn a few questions to learn more about our Girl on Fire:
JstBU: What's the best advice that you were given?
Addisyn: There is no such thing as dreaming too big. With a little hard work, whatever I can picture I want to do, I can do. With my siblings help, we have grown Snuggle Sacks to help thousands each month through many difference services we offer now.
JstBU: Do you have a daily affirmation?
Addisyn: Kindness is contagious - awareness is key. Spread it everywhere!
JstBU: What's your favorite JstBU style?
Addisyn: I really like the Valentina and Charlotte bralettes
