How precious are these little hand-sewn bears? Almost as precious as the kiddos who made them! The Weatherford Day 4H Club made these for our Officers to give to kids who need comforting. The little boys and girls who receive them will surely feel the love and care stitched into every seam. Each bear carries a piece of their creators' hearts, reminding the children that they are not alone in tough times. It's a beautiful way to spread warmth and kindness in our community!
