Read full article: Teddy bears for children facing life-threatening illnesses stolen from nonprofitโs storage facilityA local nonprofit is looking to replace some very special inventory after a recent burglary left them without teddy bears meant for children facing life-threatening illnesses. Children that have heart issues, transplants, and children that go into surgery.โEarlier in the week, Maurer said more than 100 special teddy bears were stolen from the foundationโs storage facility in Katy. โThatโs just the most heinous crime that you could possibly do, stealing from sick children,โ said Maurer. The nonprofit gives away the new teddy bears to children in area hospitals. โWhat weโre hoping is for the community to step up and help us with donations so that way we can purchase more bears,โ said Maurer.
