A little friend for life’s booboos
Patches Bear
Patches is a small, well-loved teddy bear with a hand-stitched blue belly patch and gold ribbon. He is a reminder that life leaves all of us with a few bumps and booboos, and a little comfort can go a long way.
Patches has a story connected with foster children. The idea was always simple: bears are meant for children, not shelves.
Every Story Matters
Ted is exploring the idea of creating a free place where ordinary people can tell and preserve the stories of their lives. It is not intended as a for-profit venture—just a way to encourage people to share the stories they do not want forgotten.
