Addi's Teddy Bear Brave Gown Mission 🧸
💗 Addi has a special mission, and she needs YOUR help! 🧸
You all know how much Addi loves helping other kids, but when she heard about this, she thought it was the sweetest thing ever and wanted to help make it happen!
Brave Gowns received a message from a hospital asking if they could provide tiny Brave Gowns for the children's dolls and teddy bears for their Teddy Bear Clinic.
The idea is so special. Instead of always being the patient, kids get to be the caregiver! They can check their teddy's heartbeat, give their doll a bandage, and help their little friend through a pretend doctor's visit.
And imagine if their doll or teddy bear had a Brave Gown just like theirs! 🥹
Addi wants to help make this happen for the holidays, and we're hoping you'll help her!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for continuing to believe in Addi, in Brave Gowns, and in the power of doing something kind for someone else.
Addi has always been on a heartfelt mission to bring joy, comfort, and courage to children spending their days in hospital rooms.
*About Addi's Journey
August 20, 2026, was the seven year anniversary of Addi’s diagnosis of Stage 4 High risk Neuroblastoma cancer that had metastasized all over her body. Our goal was to have 10,000 gowns donated to children in the hospital by this date for Addi to deliver as a symbol of her fight but more than that, a symbol of surviving after so many odds were stacked against her. She continues to bravely face each day with a smile on her face and JOY in her heart as she turns this unthinkable journey into GOOD for others! Â
She loves picking which gown to wear to face her scans and treatment. It helps alleviate anxiety that comes her way and brings a little excitement to prepping for the hospital. Not only are they soft and colorful, they also allow the nurses and doctors access her, while keeping her covered, which brings her comfort. Addi is the first ever Brave Gowns Child Ambassador and loves helping Brave Gowns fill requests for her to hand deliver in person.
          We'd love your help bringing joy to other children who are in treatment like Addi once was.
