Project Cuddle® Project Cuddle® is the result of one woman's crusade to help prevent infants from being abandoned. Debbe Magnusen fostered over 30 drug-exposed babies, while raising two biological children.

Tragically, babies are being abandoned across the nation on a daily basis. Since its inception,
Project Cuddle® has saved over 600 babies across the country and into Canada from the fate of being abandoned, or worse.
