Meet the Founder
For the Cubs began when Amy, a licensed foster parent, learned about the importance of regular hugs for emotional wellbeing. Drawing from her own life experience wresting with the daily struggles of ADHD, anxiety, and depression, she designed Percy – a weighted bear that provides comforting pressure, similar to a hug. Now people of all ages are enjoying the calming, comforting effects of their pal, Percy.
