Claire Davenport, Founder and CEO

Healing Hugs Project was founded by Claire Davenport, a senior in high school with goals of helping patients just like her. As a patient at Children’s Hospital of Nebraska herself, Claire knows the true reality of what patients face when they are receiving care at the hospital and how something like a care item can bring so much comfort during that time. These items may seem small, but Claire understands the big impact they have.
