The Gratitude Fund – Philippines

Healing Hearts Bear Project is a two-phased project involving the crocheting of teddy bears with three major objectives:

1. Provide emotional and complementary physiological and psychological healing for children with cancer by distributing crocheted bears as healing companions.
2. Provide physiological, psychological, spiritual, and financial healing for women inmates of the Davao City Jail through making Healing Hearts Bears for children with cancer and for sale, while doing the Meditation on Twin Hearts, a spiritual technology component of Pranic Healing, every week during the collection of the bears and release of payment.
3. To provide initial livelihood assistance (selling of organic soaps and provision of crochet materials) and emergency funds for newly-released women as they return to life outside jail amid the prejudices and scarce livelihood opportunities for women in their situation.
