Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) are delighted to partner with FLATOUTbear for a very special, limited edition, SCHF bear, raising funds for Sydney Sick Kids Appeal.

A 'BEARY' SPECIAL COLLABORATION

The irresistible soft, snuggly and soothing bear is made from 100% Australian sheepskin and has been adorned with his very own SCHF ribbon to show how special he is. Each bear comes with a bespoke bag designed with artwork from patients across Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. Carefully drawn by our little artists, the bag offers a safe place for the bear to rest and be carried. All profits from the sales of these bears will go to Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation to support their Sydney Sick Kids Appeal launching on May 22 until 30 June 2023.

For many children instead of playdates there are appointments, instead of sleepovers there are hospital stays, and instead of firsts there can be lasts. By purchasing this special bear, you can help give sick kids and their families many more good days. You can shine a light on kids’ health, helping all sick kids, no matter where, no matter what.

LAURA'S STORY

When Jodie welcomed her daughter Laura into the world, she was relieved to see the end of a difficult pregnancy. But during their first night in hospital, Jodie intuitively knew something wasn’t right with her new baby girl.

“She was very sleepy,” Jodie recalls. “She wasn’t really feeding. I had to express and syringe feed her. Then the day after we got home, I was holding her after trying to feed her, and she started seizing in my hands.”

Jodie called her midwife, who ordered an urgent transfer to Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick.
