About this campaign

Please help us raise money for Molly Bears to provide bereaved parents with weighted bears for them to hold. All proceeds go straight to the foundation and will bring peace for those who have lost a child.

Kyler Jackson Torres was born June 23rd 2014 into the arms of Jesus. My husband and I found out that Kyler had Thanatophoric Dysplasia, a lethal form of dwarfism, not compatible with life. I got the pleasure of carrying him for 8 beautiful months but God had other plans. I know that someday I will hold him in my arms again but until then we will always have our son, and my older son's baby brother, missing. You can read more at BabyKyler.blogspot.com.
Please join us in celebrating Kyler's first birthday in Heaven, running, walking, biking, or whatever you choose to do, June 20th and 21st 2015. Dedicate this time to him and help us send him as much love as we can.
Our t-shirts proceeds will go to the non-profit foundation, Molly Bears. Molly Bears hand makes and personalizes teddy bears weighing exactly the weight a bereaving parent's child did when they passed away, and sends it to them. I have one for Kyler and it has brought me such peace. I can pick it up any time I want and feel exactly how heavy he was. It gives me something to touch when I need it the most. It costs $45 to make one bear and they spend over $2000 a month on shipping fees. On average, it costs $5.15 to ship bears less than one pound, $10.85 to ship bears between one and five pounds and $14.74 to ship bears six to nine pounds. To learn more, go to MollyBears.com or find their Facebook page.
You can go as far as you decide to go, just buy a shirt to support Molly Bears and post a photo on Facebook to share your accomplishment. You can find the facebook event here:https://www.facebook.com/events/339744456233222/

What is FGFR3?
FGFR3 isfibroblast growth factor receptor 3, and is a gene that emits protein FGFR3. This is found in acondroplasia, or dwarfism, as most people know it.Two mutations in theFGFR3gene cause more than 99 percent of cases of achondroplasia, which is a form of short-limbed dwarfism. Both mutations lead to the same change in the FGFR3 protein. Specifically, the protein building block (amino acid) glycine is replaced with the amino acid arginine at protein position 380 (written as Gly380Arg or G380R). Researchers believe that this genetic change causes the receptor to be overly active, which leads to the disturbances in bone growth that occur in this disorder. This is on your shirt to provide awareness of dwarfism and forms of it like Thanataphoric Dysplasia, like Kyler had.
The proceeds from your shirt will go straight to Molly Bears as soon as the sales end.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to your contributions and understanding during these next few months. Let's show our baby boy a glorious party for his very first birthday. Please feel free to invite anyone you would like.

My nephew and niece gave birth to a baby that gained his wings on the that same day. Nobody understands the pain these young people go through and if my tiny donation can help in some way then great
