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!
