Change a life ... donate a bear ... and give HOPE!

[heather]

My good friend Kateandjona is just one of many people organizing this worthwhile project.  Please take a moment to view this public service announcement.  Hearing Jona's story about the impact the bear given to him by a firefighter when Jona's father passed away ... really says it all.

If you can find a way to give to this worthwhile project ... know you are making a difference in the life of a child affected by a traumatic event.  One bear can make such a positive impact ... one bear can give hope!

It's an amazing thought, isn't it?  That we can give something as wonderful as HOPE with just one small gesture ...

Thanks for the assist, girlfriend!  Hugs!
