Hugs Handmade for CSC Kids

September 25, 2026

A special thank you to a kind-hearted woman in Australia, Wendy, who lovingly knits and donates these adorable bears for children recovering from surgery at Children’s Surgical Centre. Each handmade bear offers a little comfort, a friendly face to hold, and a reminder that someone far away is thinking of them. These small gifts bring big smiles to our young patients when they need them most.
