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. ”That’s just the most heinous crime that you could possibly do, stealing from sick children,” said Maurer. The nonprofit gives away the new teddy bears to children in area hospitals. ”What we’re hoping is for the community to step up and help us with donations so that way we can purchase more bears,” said Maurer.
