COZEES INTERNATIONAL, Inc.
Believing in the joy of giving
ABOUT US
Cozees International, Inc. was established in May, 2016. It was founded by Suzette S. Sookdeo and Nicholas A. Paria, a husband and wife team.
Cozees International, Inc. is a charity organization dedicated to serving others by providing items of warmth and comfort to those in need. We collect unused hotel toiletries, school supplies, socks and other items of warmth and comfort. We then create individual care packages and donate them to other non-profit organizations serving children, women, veterans and the homeless.

Our mascots - Blizzard, the Siberian Husky, and Daisy, the Irish Sheep.
Our logo shows Daisy giving Blizzard a hug and wearing a pair of pink, polka-dot fuzzy socks. Those socks were the inspiration behind the creation of our charity. They were given to Suzette as a Christmas present from her niece. Putting them on during a cold winter night felt like a warm hug to our founder. Believing that everyone should experience that feeling of warmth and comfort, the idea for our charity was born. After starting off slowly, with only supplies they had personally collected and purchased, our founders were able to increase their inventory when Nicholas' airline employers agreed to assist them with the collection of hotel toiletries. The charity organization was then officially established.
