Magnetic Me Brings Comfort to One Family’s Hospital Journey

Small Gift, Big Impact: How Magnetic Me Brought Comfort to One Family’s Hospital Journey.

Through our Heart to Heart Program, Magnetic Me recently donated pajamas for babies to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. This donation was made possible through our collaboration with Claire Hogue, an oncology and stem cell transplant social worker at the hospital. Claire works closely with families navigating some of the most difficult journeys—supporting children undergoing cancer treatments and transplants across the five-state region of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Montana.

Claire shared with us one story that truly touched our hearts.

One family at the hospital was going through a particularly long and emotional medical journey with their one-month-old daughter, their second child, facing a serious diagnosis. With so much time spent at the hospital, the parents hadn’t had the chance to shop for anything special or comforting for their baby.

That’s where Claire stepped in.

She offered the family a Magnetic Me footie from our donation, and when she asked the mom what color she’d prefer, her eyes lit up. “Something girly and pink,” she said with excitement.

When the family received the footie, they were amazed by the quality. They loved the foldover cuffs on the hands and feet—perfect for a hospital setting—and were especially grateful for the ease of the magnetic fasteners, which worked beautifully with their daughter’s medical port.

For a moment, amidst appointments and uncertainty, this gift gave them joy and a sense of being seen. It reminded them that they are not alone—that there’s a community rallying around them in support.

Stories like this are why we do what we do. We’re honored to be part of this family's journey even in the smallest way.
