The Teddy Bear Project

IMG_8785_edited_edited.jpg

The Frankie Teddy Bear Project is designed to give children a way to write letters or share pictures with a loved one who has died by suicide. The pocket on the t-shirt of the Teddy Bear is a magic portal for them to communicate with their loved one. The Teddy Bear comes with a journal for “overflow” messages for safe keeping. 

 

The Teddy Bear Workshop is a community building session, for you to be with other loss survivors who truly understand the gravity of the loss of a loved one to suicide. They do not include receipt of the Teddy Bear. 

​

This free workshop involves creating Teddy Bear kits so they are ready to send out to bereaved children of suicide loss. This includes sewing pockets and assembling journals.  

​

We welcome donations to help support this and all projects for suicide loss survivors.

The Teddy Bear Project

Date: TBA | 10:30-12:30pm 

This is a fee-free community building workshop. We sew pockets on a Teddy Bear t-shirt so children can send messages to their loved ones. These kits will be mailed to children whom have lost a loved one to suicide. Donations welcome and kits can be purchased to take home.
