"After a life-changing accident, Eric Wyatt decided to create a line of plush animals to help others bear their own burdens. With a little help, they can 'Burden the Bear' instead."
"Wyatt created bears for anxiety, PTSD, and various types of cancer among others. He also decided to branch out beyond simply 'burdens.' For example, he created 'Inspire the Bear' to promote autism acceptance."
"Wyatt's business partnered with so many nonprofits that he decided to start his own. 'Lifting the Burden' acts as a sidekick to 'Burden the Bear,' providing grants to organizations to help acquire their own plushies."
Eric Wyatt created a line of plush animals after a life-changing accident to help others bear their own burdens. The plush bears are made for anxiety, PTSD, and various types of cancer. The line also includes bears with broader purposes, such as “Inspire the Bear,” which promotes autism acceptance. Wyatt’s business partnered with many nonprofits, and he later started his own initiative called “Lifting the Burden.” “Lifting the Burden” functions as a sidekick to “Burden the Bear” by providing grants to organizations so they can acquire their own plushies. The program connects comfort products with nonprofit support and cause-focused outreach.
