Adopt-a-bear is a grassroots non-profit campaign dedicated to fighting child abuse. Our daily mission is to help comfort abused, neglected and abandoned children – one teddy bear at a time!
At the core of our adoption effort is the experience of children helping children. The “adoption” of the teddy bear by one child for another who is less fortunate, is a treasured gift for all. Of course, we encourage loving adults to adopt as well.
The campaign was created by CBS-4 News Chief Investigative Reporter Michele Gillen in response to state budget cuts that endangered the gifting of bears by our Juvenile Court Judges. Thanks to you, the bears are being rescued – and so are the children. To make a donation to Adopt A Bear, click here.

We have great news for families! Your children may be eligible for health insurance though Florida KidCare - a program that offers affordable, high quality health insurance for uninsured children.
With Florida KidCare coverage, students will have access to both preventive and emergency care. Benefits include doctor’s visits, hearing and vision screenings, dental checkups, immunizations, surgeries, and trips to the emergency room.
Here’s the best part: the price for a child’s healthcare can be as little as a trip to the movies. The majority of families who enroll in Florida KidCare pay a monthly premium of $15 - $20, but most pay nothing at all.
There is a full-pay option for families with children ages 1 through 18 who do not qualify for subsidized coverage. Eligibility is based on household income and family size; many non-citizens are eligible.
You can fill out an online application here.
For more questions, please call Florida KidCare at 1( 888) 540-5437.
