It's amazing to see the face of a little one when she receives our soft, cuddly teddy bears. All children look such irresistable toys, but when it is an orphan receiving the gift, the joy is inexplicable, especially as often it is the first toy the child has ever received. From anyone.
We thank each and every one of you. You made someone smile, someone who really needed to.
Meet little Akbar (we've changed his name as per GG policy). He's so giddy upon receiving his bear that he's been bouncing. yes, jumping up and down. His smile is infectious and he has that look. You know the look we mean. The look of someone who knows he is loved. It's a beautiful thing to see and something we want to see on every child's face.
It's September. The start of a new school year and the Fall season where leaves change colour and the world is full of possiblility. It's a good month to be kind and a definitely a good day to be kind. Donate a teddy for $10 and you'll not just be giving a gift; you may be giving a lifeline to a little one alone in the world. Gift one every day and you will literally be a smile spreader. Yup, that will be you! Thank you!
