What are Buddy Bears?
A car accident,
Your home's on fire,
They're telling you your mom or dad will not wake-up.

When you're too young to understand what's going on around you, but old enough to know what you had is quickly changing or gone. A Buddy Bear will help you through the night and be your best friend for life.

Buddy Bears are a small stuffed bears, ABATE Chapters can purchase and then distribute to EMT's, Ambulance drivers, Fire departments.

In the event of an accident where a small child is involved a Buddy Bear is given to him/her. The purpose is to help take the child's mind off the event happening around them and give them something to hold on to and focus on. It may not be much, yet words could not describe what it means to that child.
