Meet Preshy, designed by 7-year-old Chloe with Toys“R”Us Canada!

/

This holiday season, the magic of giving takes center stage with Toys“R”Us Canada and the 16th Limited Edition Starlight Bear, Preshy. Created by 7-year-old Chloe with our incredible friends at Toys“R”Us Canada, this one-of-a-kind bear embodies strength, love, and resilience—perfectly capturing the heart of the holiday spirit.

Chloe was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome, resulting in several congenital heart defects (CHDs) and 11 other medical conditions. In her short seven years, Chloe has already undergone 13 surgeries, including open-heart surgery, and many other procedures with difficult complications. Despite experiencing two cardiac arrests and a lung hemorrhage, Chloe is a vibrant little girl, full of laughter and bright smiles.

Preshy is inspired by Chloe’s luminous and precious personality, spreading love and kindness wherever she goes! Named after Chloe’s nickname given by her grandmother, Preshy features a pink bow and accents, symbolizing Chloe’s favourite colour and the love, warmth, strength, and compassion she exudes. Preshy’s pink heart patch represents Chloe’s numerous CHD diagnoses and the obstacles she has overcome, never dimming her bright light.

Now available at your local store and online, every purchase of Preshy at Toys“R”Us Canada helps light up the lives of seriously ill children like Chloe. With all proceeds donated to Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada, Preshy is more than just a bear—it’s a symbol of hope, love, and the difference we can make together.

This is just one of the many ways Toys“R”Us Canada has been a beacon of hope for children courageously facing serious illness, partnering with Starlight Canada to bring joy when it’s needed most for 26 years. Through heartfelt fundraising campaigns, sponsoring unforgettable Great Escapes Wish events, providing vital support to hospitals nationwide, and much more, Toys“R”Us Canada continues to create moments of healing and happiness through the power of play.

Recently, local hospitals experienced firsthand the generosity of the Toys“R”Us Canada communities during our Annual Grant Tour, which visited 87 stores across the country. Each hospital received a $2,000 grant, made possible by the support of local stores and customers. From comforting toys to life-changing therapy programs, these donations are helping fund urgent needs, bringing hope, healing, and comfort to hospitalized children.

This impact is made possible because of you! As you shop for your very own Starlight Bear—and all the things you love—Toys“R”Us Canada is generously collecting donations at checkout to support Starlight Canada. For as little as $1, you can help bring joy and comfort to seriously ill children and their families in your community, making their days brighter and their spirits lighter as we head into the new year.

A heartfelt thank you to Toys“R”Us Canada and Babies“R”Us Canada, and to their extraordinary customers, whose unwavering commitment is transforming the lives of thousands of families with seriously ill children across the country. The joy you create, the hope you inspire, and the memories you help build are the most priceless gifts of all—this holiday season and every day after.
