C. Joyce Farrar-Rosemon
​
C. Joyce Farrar-Rosemon developed interactive therapeutic teddy bears to present to children in need. A young girl’s struggles with trauma and pain inspired Farrar-Roseman to begin making Hope Teddy Bears, therapeutic bears for children in need of healing. The bears have been sent to children of Ukraine and Uvalde, Texas.
​
Rosemon has expanded her line of therapeutic products that support individuals and families experiencing cancer. Her new product line showcases her flagship character, Caleb the Cancer-Fighting Bear. In the book he offers hope to the newly diagnosed Charlie by providing musical and therapeutic activities that encourage him to become a cancer survivor. She designed these products to help affected children and families to relax and focus on getting better during cancer treatments and reinforce the goal of their loved ones ringing the bell one day soon.
