Teddys For Hope Has a Home!!!

Just got an email from Rosie and she set up a blog site specifically for Teddys For Hope!

Here is the site:

All of the contact info for where to send the bears and whom to email is out there.

Tuesday when I ship the box of 12 bears off to her, I am going to head out to WalMart in Biddeford and the other one in Falmouth and try to attempt the same thing. Maybe I'll even ask the manager to set up a donation box. Who knows.

I am also going to get in touch with all the people I've worked with in the past at various radio stations across the US and give them Rosie's blog site and the contact info and ask them to do what they can. It is estimated that close to 1,000,000 people will have been displaced and left homeless due to Hurricane Katrina. Out of that number I'd estimate close to 25,000 must be children. I'd be surprised if the actual number wasn't higher.

100 teddy bears is a very modest number. I bet with a little help, some press, and a whole lot of "spreading the word" we can get that number even higher and Rosie's dreams of placing a teddy bear in the arms of a child who needs it, may supercede even her wildest dreams.
