I had the pleasure of meeting Judy Weber today as she delivered bears from a group at the LDS church in Sacramento. Judy was delightful and the bears are adorable. Thank you all 🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻

In a recent post by our friends at The Grieving Youth And Families Of The Merrimack Valley we were reminded of the power of compassion, connection, and community. We couldn't agree more. The Three Cs. 🐻💕🐻💕🐻

We received the sweetest message from Wellspring Women's Center. Made our day for sure! Thank you Jessica. 🐻❤️🐻❤️🐻

Hi Rebecca,
Two dozen friends just arrived at our center! Thank you again for the incredible work you all do to reduce isolation and loneliness through such lovely little huggable friends! The bears from last batch have been being given out in our new mom layette baskets, distributed by our social workers, so I have not been able to grab any yet but I will absolutely try to get some photos for you all this time around!

Wishing you a bear-y good rest of your day!

Warm regards,
Jessica
