Brave Bears arrived already!!
My Brave Bear Box came today and I’m so excited to share it with you all!! I could not snap enough photos of these totally adorable, cuddly little bears. They were so brave to travel all this way from Massachusetts to Georgia on their very own.
The box immediately caught my eye as Kate doesn’t skimp. It is a high quality, sturdy box, cleverly designed to capture the attention of any kiddo and earn its spot among keepsakes.
My bears arrived with a soft copy and hard copy of Kate’s book “Char Bear Keeps Dancing!”, stickers, trading cards about each of the 3 bears available for adoption, stickers for each bear and more.
Each bear is high quality, durable, plushy soft, with different texture fur. I am blown away by these amazing little friends. Every EMU and EEG lab treating kiddos should get one of these boxes at a bear minimum. (Yes, I know I spelled that wrong on purpose!)
While the story is about infantile spasms and EMU stays, any kiddo in an EMU should be able to earn bragging rights from being a Brave Bear!!
Pocket Pick-Me-Up #1
Great struggles create even better ideas. Check out these Brave Bears.
Our greatest struggles often create our greatest achievements. This episode of Pocket Pick-Me-Ups is all about the #Brave Bears bringing comfort to patients and their families dealing with infantile spasms. The genius intellect of Kate Kostolansky brings us a collection of little bears, some with EEG caps and backpacks, others simply bringing comfort to the siblings of the patients, and some bringing the whole story in a cute children’s book.
Don’t let the cover of the book kid you, this children’s book was written by Kate with collaboration from pediatric neurologists and is available in 3 languages. Kate’s vision is to see a world with less infantile spasms, more knowledge about the positive outcomes that can follow a diagnosis of infantile spasms, and to help children complete their EEGs and EMU stays with courage and fun.
Kate is currently seeking donations to help make this dream achievable. I implore you to partner with me in helping make this dream come true. Any size donation will help this goal move well along its way.
