8" Pouch Bears are temporarily unavailable

We're currently updating the design of our 8" Pouch Bears to better meet the needs of the families we serve. The new version will feature an increased interior pouch capacity, allowing families more space for added weight, meaningful keepsakes and memorial items..

We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to making the updated design available as soon as possible. Please check back for future updates.

Our 12" Pouch Bears remain available for purchase through our online shop and continue to provide extra space for keepsakes or weighted filling. Hospital and community partners interested in receiving 12" Pouch Bears by donation are welcome to contact us by email for more information.

8" Pouch Bears are available free of charge to our hospital and community partners and can also be purchased by individual families in our online shop.

12" Pouch Bears provide extra space for keepsakes or weight and are available for purchase exclusively through our website. Hospital and community partners interested in receiving 12" Pouch Bears by donation can contact us by email.

Pouch Bears are partially stuffed and shipped with an empty pouch, giving families the option to customize their bear in a way that best supports their grief journey.

We will continue to provide our fully stuffed 8" Baby Loss, NICU, and Infertility Bears to families and community partners.

We are officially caught up on free requests!

We’re happy to share that we are caught up on free bear requests! If you requested a bear before then and haven’t received it, please double check your email to make sure you’ve completed the Bear Confirmation Form. This step is required before we can ship your bear.

If you recently requested a free bear, please note:

You are now on our waitlist. When we are preparing to ship your bear, you will receive an email with a private link to our Bear Confirmation Form.This is where we will collect your address and determine which type of bear best fits your needs. 

Free bear requests are a two-step process. Please check your inbox and spam for messages from [email protected].

Expedite Your Free Bear Request

We now offer free 6-inch Early Loss Bears on our Hospital Request Form

Project B.E.A.R. now provides 6" Early Loss Bears to both individual families and our hospital and community partners. These bears replace our previous 5" Early Loss Bears while continuing to provide comfort to families experiencing miscarriage or early pregnancy loss.

We appreciate your patience while we work through your requests

We are still experiencing a high volume of orders and are sending out bears as quickly as our budget allows. While our bears are always provided free of cost, any donation, no matter the amount, helps us minimize wait times and continue supporting families in need.
