Teddy Bear Hugs to Comfort The Wee Ones

 Imagine your son, your daughter, niece, nephew, or grandchild cold, afraid and hungry.  They've been tossed out of the house/apt/condo because of financial troubles and or medical troubles of a parent or guardian.  Imagine they don't know where they're going to sleep tonight, whether they'll be warm or cold.  No doubt they too wonder if they're going to sleep hungry.  A terrible situation for anyone, adult or child.  But, so scarey for a child who may be too young to understand what's happening to him and his family.

Remember the love and comfort holding a special Teddy Bear or stuffed animal can bring?  Rachel B from England has knitted and donated 15 Teddy Bear Hugs for those children.  Please click to enlarge so you can see how truly adorable these bears are.  Look at the colors and the details, right down to a knitted scarf around their neck.  Some of cute little Teddy Bears certainly will find their warm into the heart of little girls, while others are geared for little boys who need comfort and a hug.  They are all soft and so cuddly. 
I'm holding one here to give you more of close up picture.  Aren't they all precious!  While collecting dolls/toys/ etc is not part of our mission, I was thrilled when Rachel contacted me after reading about our mission to ask if I thought these could be put to good use.  Oh my YES, was my answer.  These will go to Homeless Families Foundation to be used to aid wee ones make the adjustment of their frightening situation.  Thank you Rachel for your thoughtfulness and your skill helping hands!  Hope to see you here often on Bridge and Beyond.  Rachel's listed on the blog log, do hop over and visit with her, I know you'll enjoy looking at all her creations.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
