http://jennabear.memory-of.com/
We are teaming up with Chris' Neuro ICU Nurse Liz Encinas (our wonderful sponsor for this site, be sure to thank her at jencinas8@cox.net) and starting a new foundation called JENNABEARS. You won't believe how many hurt and sick children are in the hospital with no support (yes, no parents) and no teddybear by their side to hug. That is our goal...to bring JENNABEARS to these children and hope that it comforts them a little during a hard time.
When Jenna was in the hospital, I asked a friend to rush home and bring back Jenna's bear. She loved that bear. Teddy was with her every moment. And we truly believe that every child deserves a bear to hold when they don't feel so good. So let's make this happen! If you would like to donate a bear or funds to help buy bears, let us know. We hope to one day bring JENNABEARS to sick children all around the world.
You may e-mail us at Eades5point0@msn.com.
We love you and miss you so much sweet Jenna Lynne!
I am keeping your memory alive baby girl!!!

I'm working on setting something up were funds can be donated but it will be strictly non-profit (no fee's on either end)
I have contacted some other foundations to see how they go about this. I know Paypal would be the easiest but I dont want them getting a penny of funds donated for needing children. |

that's a great thing you're doing, man. aside from keeping the memory of your JennaBear alive, you're giving something to kids that otherwise wouldn't have.
please keep us posted--i'll gladly donate what i can for the cause. |

I gotta applaud you bro, rather than sitting around being sad about what happened (and who could have blamed you) you're throwing your energy into doing something good in your daughters memory.
Lots of little girls and maybe even boys will be getting some much needed comfort from this, and your daughters spirit will live on in each one of them! |

I was so frustrated last night, tried to reply but cable connection gave me the finger again (like it's been doing the last week  ) What an amazing idea and cause, I was telling my family about them today and they're interested too. |

Can you receive/donate the actual bears? Our spare bedroom has a good amount of teddy bears just sitting collecting dust on the bed, we really do not know what to do with them.
Is there an address one could box up and send bears to? Along with a check donation?  |

I have recieved one donation from SuperDust22, other than that I have been buying the bears myself
I havent found a non profit way to donate besides someone just sending me a check. We did set a JennaBears paypal account up in hopes of donations, I just didnt put it out there yet I was hoping to find a non-profit way to go about it
Thanks so much for asking for an update...that meant alot.
If anyone would like the paypal info, or mailing address for a regular donation I will give that info upon req.
Daddy misses you always |

Chris, I havent read around on the threads in a while but I do remember reading about your unfortunate accident. I always tried to believe that people could be good and after a certain many things that happened to me from trying to see the best in people and being let down I really gave up on everyone all together. But reading this really touched my heart and reminded me that there are still people out there that do have feelings and do really feel go threw terrible things but still struggle to make things better for others. I dont have much, however I do really would like to donate what I can to this cause. I would actually like to donate so 100% of it goes towards you and your cause so if you havent gotten the non profit thing with pay pal straightened out then I would appreciate it if you could give me an address I could send a check to and if you could tell me what/who to write it out to that would be great also. I always try to remember, someone is watching over and just try and keep your head up high and keep on fighting the good fight. |

Eades, man, I have to admit that with my car being mothballed I'm not on as much anymore. I had read of the tragedy, but had not read of your foundation until now. Sent you a donation through the website, not much but I hope it helps. |
