Billy's Bears Story
After the devastation from Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, I felt helpless. Wanting to provide some comfort to a child in need who had suffered a loss from the storm, I created the "Buncombe Bears Cares" project.
(Buncombe County, NC is located in WNC & it's where our family home is.)
People from all over the world were kind enough to sponsor a teddy bear to be given to a child in need in WNC. Half of their sponsorship went towards the cost of the bear & the other half was donated to relief organizations & funds with boots on the ground in the area. In a little over two months, 225 bears were sponsored & given to children in Western NC!
​
Through this journey, I had many people reach out to me asking if they would be able to purchase a bear to provide comfort for someone they know. And, since Buncombe is not a word known throughout the world, I decided to change the name to "Billy's Bears".
Why Billy? Because I wanted to honor my father-in-law, Billy Owens, who was born & raised in Buncombe County & who we miss every day.
​
"Billy's Bears" are now being offered to send to someone you know to provide comfort, love & bear hugs! For $25 (plus shipping), your teddy bear will be sent with a special tag, a personalized note from you & gift wrapped.
All proceeds will be donated to relief funds for people & animals in Western NC since the need will be ongoing for many years.* The following organizations will receive donations:
- Beloved Asheville
- Brother Wolf Animal Rescue
​
(*Donations may also include or be altered based on needs for areas across our country.) ​
