What We Do!

 

Bears of Hope makes handmade fabric bears for children and adults facing a difficult life challenge. The bears give them comfort, hope and are there to hug, hold, cuddle, or talk to whenever they feel sick, sad, hurt, or lonely.

Bears of Hope are not mass produced. Each one is lovingly made by volunteers. 

No two bears are made with the same fabric design. This makes each bear unique, just like the bear's recipient.
