Your Quest for the Perfect Plushie Starts Here.

Our Story

Plushie Quest was born from a simple passion: the joy of collecting cute and unique plushies. We found ourselves constantly searching for information, tracking new releases, and sharing our finds with friends. We realized there needed to be a central place for collectors to discover new plushie quests, read honest reviews, and keep track of their own growing collections. That's how Plushie Quest came to be!

We are a small team of dedicated collectors, designers, and developers who believe that plushies are more than just toys—they're companions, works of art, and sources of immense happiness. Our goal is to build a welcoming community for everyone who shares this passion.

What We Do

At Plushie Quest, we focus on three main things:

• Curation: We carefully curate a catalog of high-quality and interesting plushies from around the world, from big brands to independent artists.
• Content: We write in-depth guides, reviews, and articles to help you make informed decisions and get more out of your hobby.
• Community: We're building tools like the Wishlist to help you organize your collection and (in the future) share it with others.

Thank you for joining us on this quest. We're so excited to have you here!

Hello, my name is Ammy. I'm 20 years old, a student, that is struggling with disabilities. I am asking for your help because I'm facing a crisis I can no longer handle alone. I also struggle with anxiety issues, I feel so scared to reach out for help.

For years, I've struggled with severe depression and the trauma of being bullied and isolated. As a young person that is also trying to figure out how to fit in, or trying to figure out how to define my identity, I struggled being able to try to support myself. Back in the day, I was rejected and thrown out, leaving me with no friends or anyone for support, and I struggled alone for a long time. This especially happened during my high school days. Some time ago, I was also diagnosed with keratoconus, a degenerative eye disease that has left me with medical expenses that I had a very difficult time paying because my insurance was not able to cover for my expenses. This led me to losing all my savings and having no safety cushion.

This has lead to me going into debt, and it's a struggle to keep up because I keep feeling stressed every day that I have stuff missing or not there.

I have decided that I needed to try something. I tried to start building websites. plushiequest.com is an example of that. It's mainly just a catalog of things and guides. I also have other projects, mainly to support myself and that I had some ideas. It would be good if I could get a company to help me out or buy things, but I don't know if that would happen. My website projects included making an online service, and I have a few others, so I think I am capable there.

Honestly, I've been fighting so hard to build a life for myself, even though it's been draining me by the day. I wanted to share my passion and hopefully make enough income to survive. However, I constantly struggle to maintain housing. My disabilities, including chronic migraines and being autistic, make it incredibly difficult to find and keep a stable job that can accommodate my needs.

Right now, my most urgent need is to find housing that is safe, secure, and accommodating for my disabilities. The upfront costs of a security deposit and first month's rent are a major barrier, and I am also struggling to afford basic necessities like clothing, and more. But it's been a struggle and it's making me spiral. I keep feeling hesitant to ask for help and I don't know how to ask for help.

Your support would be a true lifeline since it would help me pay for the medical costs I had to deal with, and give me the emergency funds to secure housing and buy essential clothing. More than anything, it would give me a sliver of hope that I can get through this and one day get back to building my dreams.

I am trying to raise $1000 to cover these urgent costs:

• $900: to secure a safe place to live (first/last month's rent or a security deposit).
• $100: For basic clothing and other essential necessities.

Thank you for hearing my story. Every share and every dollar is a message that I am not invisible and that my fight matters.

With hope,
Ammy
