For years, Carly — the Free Hugs Lady — has been a beacon of warmth, love, and positivity on Queen’s campus. Her simple act of offering free hugs has touched countless students, staff, and community members. In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, Carly reminds us what genuine kindness looks like. Carly’s presence brings joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging to everyone who passes by. Her hugs aren’t just hugs — they’re moments of connection that lift spirits, ease anxiety, and make people feel seen and cared for. We believe Queen’s isn’t quite the same without her. By signing this petition, you’re helping to bring back the love and celebrate the community spirit that makes Queen’s feel like home. Let’s show Carly how much her compassion matters — and remind everyone that small acts of love can make a big difference. 🧡❤️
