Today we’d like to introduce you to Shina Hasan
Hi Shina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
It all started with a prayer, a love for stuffed animals aka “plushies”, and an observation! Ever since I was a child, stuffed animals have held a special place in my heart. They were my comfort, my companions, and often, the keepers of my little prayers. As I grew older, prayer became a vital part of my daily routine—a way to find peace, strength, and connection.
But something always stuck with me: those praying hand emojis we see so often on social media and in texts. I’d wonder, “Are they really praying for that person, or is it just a gesture?” It stirred something in me—a desire to make those moments more tangible, heartfelt, and real.
That’s how the idea for send a PRAYER, a stuffed animal care package company was born. I wanted to combine the comfort of a plushie with the power of prayer, offering a way to show someone, “I’m truly praying for you, and here’s a little reminder of that love.”
It’s continues to be an incredible journey, sharing these bundles of comfort and care. Each package is more than a gift—it’s a hug, a prayer, and a piece of my heart sent out into the world.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Building send a PRAYER stuffed animal care package business has been a rewarding journey, but not without its challenges. Starting a business is not for the weak. You truly have to believe in your WHY and trust the process because your faith and patience will be tested. One of the biggest hurdles was learning the ins and outs of SEO. Just because you build a website doesn’t mean customers will find you right away—it takes time, strategy, and constant adjustment. Another challenge came when manufacturers discontinued products I offered, forcing me to pivot and find alternatives that met my vision. Balancing these unexpected changes while ensuring a consistent, heartfelt product taught me the value of flexibility and patience.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At send a PRAYER, we specialize in creating heartfelt stuffed animal care packages that bring comfort, encouragement, and love to those who need it most. Each package includes a thoughtfully chosen plushie paired with a prayer from us and a personalized message from you, making it a tangible reminder that someone truly cares. We understand you can’t always be present when someone needs a hug, but your prayers can.
What sets send a PRAYER apart and what I’m most proud of is our commitment to combining the comfort of a stuffed animal with the power of prayer. Our care packages go beyond just being a gift—they’re a gesture of faith, love, and support, perfect for life’s tender moments when words alone aren’t enough. When someone receives our bright yellow box with “Praying For You”, printed on the outside of it, they immediately know someone is praying for them in that very moment. What a thoughtful way to show you care.
We’re known for creating meaningful connections, whether it’s partnering with churches to support missions, offering unique ways to express condolences, or simply helping people show they’re praying for someone in a tangible, heartfelt way.
With every package, we aim to brighten someone’s day, bring peace to their heart, and remind them that they’re never alone. Whether you’re looking to encourage a loved one, send condolences, or celebrate a special occasion, our care packages are a hug in a box, sent with love and prayer.
Help us make sure those prayers don’t just stay emojis. Discover how our care packages can make a difference—visit sendaprayernow.com to explore the comfort and connection we’re honored to share.
