For the month on February, I won a giveaway which included this teddy bear. Which I was most excited about. I am a momma of two in which my second is my heart warrior. He is 6 months old with L-TGA, Ebsteins anomaly, AA, and Aortic hypoplesia. Even tho his fight is nowhere near over as we are awaiting a heart transplant and on a VAD. This cute cuddle bear with be with him every step of the way. Shipping was quick as well as the owner being very approachable with questions and very fast responses.
I entered for a giveaway during CHD Awareness month. I like Gabriel's mommy, am also a heart mommy. My 2nd daughter was born with HLHS,VSD,ASD,CoA & a deformed mitral valve. I've seen CHD buddies before and always wanted one for my babe. I was blown away once our package was received. Early arrival, hand crafted soap& lotion & a CHD buddy! She even threw in a little sticker & play dough kit.
We were gifted this beautiful teddy bear, and I honestly wasn’t prepared for how emotional it would make me. The little heart scar on its chest looks just like my daughter Madelyn’s, and seeing that representation means more than I can put into words.
For heart families, scars aren’t flaws. They’re proof of strength, survival, and second chances. Having a teddy bear that reflects that journey makes my daughter feel seen in such a sweet, gentle way. It opens the door for conversations about bravery and helps normalize something that can feel so big for such a tiny human.
The quality of the bear itself is wonderful. It’s soft, cuddly, and clearly made with care. The stitched scar is thoughtfully done and not overwhelming. It’s simply part of the bear’s story.
We are so grateful to have received this. It’s more than a stuffed animal to us. It’s representation, comfort, and a reminder that our little heart warrior is never alone. 💛
