Purchase a bear that cares

The teddy bear became the Avril Elizabeth Homes mascot in 1980 and teddies of all shapes and sizes are found throughout the home offering security and cuddles to our residents.

Besides being cuddly and cute, bears offer unconditional love, reassurance, security and compassion. Many adults still have fond memories of their own teddy bears who they loved as children. many of our residents don't have parents for cuddles or reassurance.

We have new and re-purposed bears you can purchase and gift to anyone you feel needs a bit of security, care or love. Should you wish to pay it forward to someone special, The Avril Elizabeth Home will package it up and send it to the "lucky receiver".

Order your teddy for someone special at aehcontact@mweb.co.za

Please stipulate delivery or collection and the relevant name and address.
