Hugs Across America
Please help us provide Teddy Bears for children in crisis through Hugs Across America,
a national not for profit organization. After the horrible disaster on September 11,
over 58,000 teddies were given to the children of New York City. Easing the traumatic
effects of that horrible event prompted Hugs Across America to seek teddies for
other youngsters confronted by fear or loss. Hugs has since distributed over
50,000 teddies to children of our troops in Iraq, children returning to tents over
ashen homes after the California forest fires, and children suffering the devastating
effects of domestic violence, house fires or police and medical emergencies.
We now have a local chapter in Oakboro, N. C. which needs your help. The bears are $3.95 each,
and come in 4 colors. Each has the Hugs Across America Logo, and a special message for the
child receiving the bears. We currently have a request from the 145th Airlift Wing in Charlotte, N. C.
If you or your church or organization would be willing to help with a fundraiser or just want to donate for the bears,
please send e-mails to oakborowireless@ctc.net or mail contributions to
Norma Thomas, Hugs Across America, 1152 North Main Street, Oakboro, North Carolina, 28129. For additional information: www.hugsacrossamerica.net.
