L-R: AILH Executive Director, Roxanne Bolden; IL Program Director, Sam Nagasawa; and IL Specialist, Emily Bartlett-Henry pose with a batch of stuffed animals awaiting delivery to the Police Station
AILH and Bayada Home Health Care joined forces to gather hundreds of stuffed animals for the Hilo, Keaau, and Pahoa Police Stations.
Police officers from these stations carry a box of stuffed animals in their cars and when they arrive at a difficult call where children are involved, they give each child a stuffed animal as a simple gesture to comfort them.
Mahalo to all those who shared their aloha, one teddy bear at a time!
