WelliBear
Child Hugging Teddy

Join BearCare

At WelliBear, we deliver soft, comforting teddy bears to children in hospitals, care facilities, homeless, and adoption centers across the state. Each bear is more than a toy it’s a hug of hope, a symbol of courage, and a reminder that no child faces their journey alone. Founded with the belief that small acts of kindness can make big differences, WelliBear works with hospitals, volunteers, and local partners to bring warmth and love to pediatric patients. Our bears help comfort children who are feeling scared, lonely, or in pain offering a sense of security and emotional healing when it’s needed most.

What We Do

  • Distribute Comfort Bears: We donate new, soft teddy bears to hospitals, pediatric care units, and children’s mental health centers throughout Florida.

  • Community Drives: Schools, businesses, and volunteers host “Bear Care Drives” to collect donations or sponsor bears.

  • Therapeutic Support: Each bear is designed to provide emotional comfort, helping children cope with anxiety, fear, or pain during treatment.

The Process

  • 🧸 Request a Bear: Parents or guardians can fill out our short form to request a comfort bear for a hospitalized child in Florida.

  • 💖 Provide Details: Include your child’s name, hospital, delivery preference, and any special needs or sensory notes.

  • 📦 We Deliver with Care: Bear Care safely delivers new, comforting bears to bring hope, healing, and hugs — one child at a time.
