<div>Help Support Patrick (“Build-a-Bear”) After Life-Changing Surgery

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our dear friend and beloved Growlr Live streamer, Build-a-Bear (aka Patrick), needs our help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On March 24th, Patrick underwent a scheduled back surgery that tragically left him paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors tried two additional surgeries to reverse the paralysis, but without success. Soon after, he developed a severe infection caused by a bedsore, requiring two more surgeries and a transfer to a long-term care facility in Ontario—far from his home in Palm Springs.

</div>

<div>In the coming weeks, Patrick will either be moved again or sent home, where he’ll need major accessibility modifications. His only family is his 85-year-old mother in Arizona, who cannot travel to assist him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Patrick is now facing overwhelming medical challenges, bills, rent, and the financial burden of adapting to this new reality. He needs our support more than ever.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We know times are tough, but if you’re able, even $1 helps. Every donation makes a difference and brings Patrick one step closer to stability and healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Patrick sends his love and the biggest hugs to all of you. P
