Today was a happy occasion because we were able to deliver teddy bears for sick children at Holy Name Medical Center. We hope their children will enjoy and hug a teddy bear friend. We hope they will get better soon and come back home. Thanks to all my family and friends that have donated a cute teddy bear to support my cause as well as my schoolmates at Most Sacred Heart of Jesus School, Wallington, NJ for donating bears.

We are happy to deliver teddy bears for Sick Children

Lastly, thanks to my family that have always supported me do my project “Cecilia’s Project for hope.” I know it takes time and so much effort but it pays off knowing that our sick children will have a smile when they receive a friendly teddy bear.
