Bear Hug Card

Inside Greeting: (blank)

Description: Made by Second Story Cards - where every card has a special meaning. Behind each one is a story of someone trying to get back on their feet, trying to create a new story.

“Sometimes all we need is just a comforting hug to let us know that people care,” says Eric Thompson-Bey. “I’m a grown man, I’ve been hardened by time in prison, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t also need a hug now and then.” Eric’s hugs come much easier today: “I wanted to make this card because if it helps just one person feel better, it would mean a lot to me.” Eric has been homeless several times from 1997 to 2016. Currently, he has housing and is works in the kitchen of a popular restaurant in Washington, DC.
