About Our Mission

Founder Emery Miller was born with Congenital Heart Defects, undergoing four open-heart surgeries before the age of seven. Having experienced the reality of calling the hospital a second home, Emery had a simple Christmas wish of wanting to pay it forward and donate one teddy bear to a sick child. This Christmas wish has transformed into an organization located in 14 states and has impacted nearly 75,000 families since 2011.
