Hi there! I am Adelaide Noir, a third-year college student, passionate about community building and spreading kindness.

Friendiverse is an extremely special project to me. I have lived my life with chronic illness and several health challenges. Growing up as a sick child, I was no stranger to the doctor’s office. Even with its familiarity, it was always terrifying. To help ease my nerves, my mother would say “You could bring a friend!”–which is what she called my stuffed animals. Somehow, it always seemed to help.

Transitioning from a sick child to a chronically ill adult, the doctor’s visits stuck around, but so did those friends. Through many years of accumulating stuffed animals, I had the idea to share the joy they once brought me with others.  

My goal is to reach people through reminding them to find joy in the little things. From children, to elderly, to even college students, I hope that I can make a difference in the life of even one person.
