For a mere $10 you can provide a newly diagnosed child with a cuddly friend to
keep them company in the hospital.
Hospitals are a scary place, especially for children who were unexpectedly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Every child’s reaction to this situation is different; however a common emotion is fear and uncertainty. Over the past years, JDRF of Georgia has been there for these children, giving a cuddly bear of hope and letting them know they are not alone. These small bears have brought comfort and smiles to hundreds of children’s faces. Unfortunately, we recently ran out of bears.
With the upcoming holiday season we ask that you give a gift of $10 to keep this meaningful tradition alive. To further brighten a child’s day you can include a personal note of hope that will be delivered along with the bear. Please click on Give a Bear! to make your donation and brighten a child’s day. |
