Our Mission: “The Teddy Bear Love Fund is on a mission to bring the magic of new stuffed animals to children facing challenging times. We’re dedicated to delivering stuffed animal hugs to Central and South-Central Indiana Hospitals for every child who could use a little extra love.”

Our Vision: We envision a state where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has access to a soft, cuddly friend who can bring warmth and comfort to their lives when receiving emergency care. Our goal is to ease the emotional burden that many children carry and promote healing through the power of love and a stuffed animal embrace.

The Need: Childhood can be a time of uncertainty and vulnerability. Children facing illness, trauma, or difficult life circumstances often need more than medical treatment or material assistance. They need emotional support and a sense of security that a teddy bear can provide. Every 4 minutes a child is seen at a local hospital in Indiana for Injuries alone. For these children, a stuffed animal can make a world of difference. It becomes a constant companion, a trusted friend, and a symbol of comfort during times of distress.
