This makes it all worth it...

I have been working hard to get the word out about BearHug Wraps. Kids do take to them as a Backpack right away, and are so delighted when they find out it is also a huge wrap! Parents keep coming back to get a Hug for birthday parties. I stand behind the quality and know this is a great product. After a while though, the difficulty of getting the word out, and growing my business made it all somewhat frustrating. This is a great product, kids love it, how can I make this happen?! Then I receive an email...

My friend Sigrid, who has an autistic son and to whom

you most generously donated a Bear Hug, told me today

(as I told you Jesse) how much she loves the Bear Hug.

She told me that her son usually wakes up early but

this morning he slept until 7:30 and was curled up in

his Bear Hug.  Her eyes lit up when she talked about

it.  Anyway, she sent me this email, in which you'll

see a copy of what--I think--she submitted on your

website.  But, just in case it didn't make it there, I

thought I'd send you this copy:

Our 6 year old son AJ has autism. My friend gave us the

 BearHug blanket from you this weekend. AJ LOVES the soft feel and the weight on his body! He sleeps with it every night now. It's perfect

for all kids, of course, but especially for children with sensory needs

(tactile, proprioceptive) like our boy.

Thank you, Thank you!!

This does make it all worth it!
