Starlight Bear®
Meet Preshy, designed by
7-year-old Chloe!
Starlight Canada and long-time partner, Toys“R”Us Canada, have come together once again to help a seriously ill child create their very own unique bear, from the ears all the way to the paws. This year, the lucky Starlight child selected to design the 16th Limited Edition Collectible Starlight Bear® for 2024 was 7-year-old Chloe!
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.
Proceeds from the sale of Preshy will help Starlight Canada continue to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families, just like Chloe’s.
Get yours today at any Toys“R”Us Canada or Babies“R”Us Canada store or online at toysrus.ca and make sure to give Preshy a big hug from Chloe!
