Tiny Hearts is a Seattle-based non-profit that partners with hospitals and clinics to give teddy bears to sick children. It was inspired by Beverly Thomas-Minnis, a breast cancer survivor, and her late husband Melvin Minnis, a community leader. Tiny Hearts aims to bring comfort and joy to ill children during hospital stays by giving them smiling teddy bears, which can brighten their day and provide comfort when family is not around. Studies show that smiling releases feel-good chemicals in the brain and is beneficial for recovery.
