Oh, this teddy bear is simply divine for little people to hug constantly and tote along everywhere. Atty the Bear is cuddly, friendly, and ready to play on the playground or on your couch, at the grocery store or at a grandparent's home! Sometimes, a child just needs a fuzzy friend to hug on rough days or to share in the fun on a fabulous day. This beautifully hand-knit buddy is crafted by refugee moms, by women who know the true meaning of a child who needs something special to bring him or her a note of safety and security in the best and worst of times.
The women who lovingly created each of these adorable plush playmates are Syrian refugees whose families have been displaced to Istanbul, Turkey. Through their skill and employment with Bebemoss and now partnering additionally with MADEx51, they are able to call attention to the refugee crisis stemming from the intense warring in Syria, as well as the plight of displaced women and children who have the same hopes and dreams that your own children have - a world of love and peace, of acceptance and value, of happiness and a future that is secure.
When you purchase Atty the Bear or any of our Bebemoss pals, you are ensuring food and shelter for each of these children and their moms because you are providing them with work and wages. "Imagine being in a new country without resources to provide for your family. Imagine wondering how you will afford to provide food for your children. While these are the stories of many women, we can help them together." - Izabela, founder of Bebemoss, LLC.
