The recovery time took 3 months away from school, in bed with an extensive hospital stay.Her mom and dad, Julie and Gary gave her a Build-A-Bear to cheer her up, dressed in a cheerleader uniform as Brittany is a cheerleader for Tooele High School in Tooele, Utah.
Prior to surgery and during her stay at the hospital, she saw a lot of children that were seriously sick or critically ill with cancer and was inspired to do something to cheer them up during Christmas. She started Britt's Bears and began to raise money for 10-15 bears and little did she know that when she was done, that she would deliver 100 bears to Primary Children's Hospital!
Wow! What an effort this Utah teen has put forth to bring joy to the lives of children who are going through some trying times, both physically and emotionally. Each child will receive a Build-A-Bear and a $5 gift certificate to dress it in an outfit that represents their personality! She also delivered 5 much needed blankets.
Brittany Mossor has indeed inspired many around her with her selfless act and BIG HEART!
She plans to do this again next year and hopes to help to spread cheer to many, many more children! Her family is so proud of her and we're glad to call her our niece, way to go Britt!
