We sorta make them up as we go alone according to the particular animal we have. Just a brief note to say the animal needs a friend and would they be wiling to take care of them.

No the bears are usually donated to us.

What size is a quiltlet??

what a wonderful program

Awesome quiltaholic!! The bear and quilt are sooooo cute :D:D

I've been saving teddy bears to give as baby gifts with a quilt, but I love this idea!!

Oh Yes! They are so cute! What a wonderful idea! :thumbup:

I occasionally buy stuffed toys that I see that are special somehow...extra soft, great color, very realistic. Up until now, I have always just kept them. Now, I know where thewy are going! What a great, loving idea. I know several firefighters, deputies and police officers and I know they will respond well to this! Thank you for such a great idea...I knew that someday all my special toys would go to good homes! I'm very excited!!!

Having worked on ambulances and ED's for 15yrs, I can tell you exactly how much special donations like this mean to a scared/frightened child. In a traumatic time, it's a little bit of soft, warm love coming their way and children instinctively respond to it. To everyone who has ever donated to programs like this......Thank You!

That's sew beary cute!!! We had a program similar to that in Indiana(where I'm originally from), but I haven't heard if they have one here or not. I'll have to check into this!
