Its purpose is to open communication with the children and their family members, while helping them to discover their emotions and feelings that are common when a member of the family is terminally ill. Buddy bear offers a very specvial gift for many of the parents of these children. One of the hardest things a parent can ever face is to have their child diagnosed with a life threatening illness. There are no words to describe the helplessness they feel when they know their childs life will most likely end before their own. Finally, Buddy Bear has the greatest gift of all to offer the parents of these children.
Many children record personal messages to their parents, family, and friends.
These tapes, along with the memories they will create, will provide their loved ones with a cherished gift no one will ever be able to replace. The first step is to choose to make a difference in a child's life. Any amount you could spare towards the cost of a bear is needed and greatly appreciated.
