Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) were treated to a Build-A-Bear workshop, “Hugs Help Healing,” thanks to the members of the Desert Guild Chapter of the Big Hearts for Little Hearts on April 28. Teddy bears and their outfits from Build-A-Bear Workshop were donated through the Desert Guild allowing the children at LLUCH to select their very own bear and outfit, creating many beautiful smiles. 4-year-old Caden Cressy from Yucca Valley was excited to get his teddy bear, who he named “Spiderman.” Over 350 bears from Build-a-Bear have been donated to LLUCH through the Desert Guild since 2014. Established in 2002, the mission of the Desert Guild is to raise funds to ensure critical medical care for the children of the Coachella Valley.
