The FREE Teddy bear ornaments will be sent out in the month of October every year. October is not only the month of Teddy's birthday, but also Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Sending bears out in October allows us to ensure they arrive for the holidays. However, bears can be sent prior to October for a small donation to cover shipping & material costs. This ensures our program will remain free for loss families come October. Free bears can only be requested by the loss parents.

Loss bears are FREE for families who have experienced pregnancy/infant loss during the month of October. If you would like to send a bear to someone who has experienced a loss, or if you are requesting your bear prior to October, we ask that you make a small donation, to cover the cost of a bear, so we can ensure loss families are receiving them for free. We do accept donations, and if you'd like to donate to help send bears to more families, that would be very much appreciated, but for loss parents it is not required during the giveaway month.

At this time, we are sending one FREE bear ornament per family during October, as we want to reach as many families as we can to provide them a small token to remember their baby by. However,you can purchase additional bears in the shop when ordering!

Our teddy bear ornaments come in white, pink and blue.

We are solely donation based, so the more donations we receive, the more bears we can send. Our listing will close when we've reached the maximum amount of requests, and will reopen if funds to send more bears become available. We are thankful for the families who decide to pay it forward - which helps cover the cost of another bear! In 2023, our first year, we sent over 1,100 bears, 900 of which were during October.
