Bringing Comfort
To Children In Need

Our mission is to provide support bears as a symbol of well-being for children experiencing treatments for serious illnesses or trauma in a time of need or crisis and to lessen anxiety and stress.

​

This support bear is someone to talk to, never leaves their side and becomes an important part of their healing journey.

​

In a moment of crisis, the support bear provides calm at a level a child can appreciate. It's just for them, a coping tool and a very important resource in times of crisis, uncertainty or sadness.

We Believe...

That providing children receiving invasive treatment with a symbol of comfort will lessen the stress associated with their illness or trauma.

​—

 In interacting with children and their families in a non-stigmatizing, impactful and inclusive manner, ensuring dignity.

—​

In collaborative partnerships with volunteers, hospitals, first responders, businesses and funders to collectively support children and their families.

​—

That by maintaining the highest standards, we can provide a valuable service through transparency and fiscal accountability.
