A local nonprofit is looking to replace some very special inventory after a recent burglary left them without teddy bears meant for children facing life-threatening illnesses.
“The bears go places parents can’t. The bears go into testing. The bears go into surgery,” said Jeanette Maurer, the founder of the Joe Joe Bear Foundation. “They go to children with cancer. Children that have heart issues, transplants, and children that go into surgery.”
Earlier in the week, Maurer said more than 100 special teddy bears were stolen from the foundation’s storage facility in Katy.
