Bringing Comfort Where it’s needed most
The Code 3 Bear Charity provides comfort and emotional support to children in crisis through a simple yet powerful gesture — the gift of a teddy bear. In moments of fear or trauma, this small act of kindness reminds children that they are cared for, seen, and not alone.
Police and Fire Departments:
First responders often encounter children in distress during emergencies. A Teddy Bear can help calm their fears, offering a sense of security and comfort when the world around them feels overwhelming.
Women’s Shelters and Safe Havens:
Shelters offer safety from abuse, but children often carry the emotional weight of trauma. Receiving a Teddy Bear gives them a tangible reminder of hope, love, and that brighter days are ahead.
Helping Kids in Crisis
Domestic violence doesn’t just affect adults — it ripples through families, leaving deep emotional scars on children. In the United States, 1 in 4 women will experience severe physical violence by an intimate partner during their lifetime. This crisis exposes countless children to fear, instability, and emotional trauma.
The Code 3 Bear Charity stands with first responders and shelters to provide comfort in these critical moments — when a child needs reassurance the most.
The Numbers Tell the Story
- Domestic violence 911 calls have risen by over 70%.
- Visits to domestic-abuse shelters have surged nearly 1000%.
- Behind every number is a child who has witnessed or experienced trauma — a child in need of comfort and safety.
These numbers reveal a heartbreaking truth: the need for compassion and emotional care has never been greater.
The Impact on Children
Exposure to domestic violence can have lifelong consequences. Children who experience or witness abuse face a higher risk of mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They may also face difficulties in school, relationships, and emotional development.
A simple Teddy Bear can’t erase that pain — but it can be the first step in healing. It tells a child, “You matter. You are safe. You are not alone.”
