We Send Furry Hugs to Those in Need of Comfort

ALI Bears offer comfort to children and adults that are in emotional or physical pain. These soft, cuddly stuffed bears bring companionship to those alone in nursing homes or living their last days in hospice centers. They comfort children and teens that are separated from their loved ones after difficult domestic situations. Our teddy bears reach many people of all ages and help them get through difficult and lonely situations.

Since this philanthropic program was started in 1987, ALI Bears have reached thousands in the Indianapolis area. They presently reach children and adults in:

Adventa Hospice Services
Aseracare Hospice
Brooke's Place Grieving Center
Clarian North Medical Center
Family Service Association of Central Indiana
The Julian Center
Neuro Critical Care - Methodist Hospital
Ronald McDonald House
Ruth Liily Hospice of Clarian
St. Vincent Hospice - Camp Healing Tree
SouthernCare, Inc.
The Pediatric Center of Hope - Riley Hospital
The Pediatric Center of Hope - Wishard Hospital

"Thank you for donating 24 bears. Your thoughtfulness will enable the staff of Brooke’s Place for Grieving Young People to continue providing connection and comfort to the children. On behalf of our families, I thank you for continuing to be a part of this legacy for children who need support, by helping us listen to their needs, bringing them hope and helping them fulfill their promising futures."

Sincerely,

Brooke’s Place for Grieving Young People
