100 New Moms build 1,000 Therapeutic Teddy Bears
Just in Time for Mother’s Day
Vista, CA– San Diego Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) will pay it forward by spreading love and healing to Mothers across America who have lost a child by building 1,000 therapeutic Comfort Cub teddy bears on May 5, 2016. The mothers will gather at the North Coast Church at 2405 N. Santa Fe Avenue in Vista from 9:15 until 10:30 AM to assemble the bears for delivery before Mother’s Day.
MOPS member Gracie Del Mar will never forget her beautiful daughter Jocelyn. When Jocelyn died shortly after birth, Del Mar received a weighted therapeutic teddy bear called The Comfort Cub from her hospital. “I was so grateful to have something to hold after losing my child. It brought comfort to my arms during the worst time in my life” Del Mar said. “When my MOPS group was looking for a service project to do in honor of Mother’s Day, I immediately thought of The Comfort Cub because it was so helpful and reassuring to me.”
