Siena Caterina Smith was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on November 8, 2011.  On Siena’s first birthday, she travelled to Vancouver, British Columbia, where she underwent heart surgery at the B.C. Children’s Hospital to correct her congenital heart defect.  While she was there, she received a teddy bear, which she named "Luna".   

In 2021, at 10 years old, Siena started i❤bearhugs in Winnipeg, Manitoba to ensure that every child from the Province of Manitoba who travels out of province for heart surgery receives their own teddy bear. 

By making a donation, you're helping Siena's mission that all children who travel out of province for heart surgery deserve their own teddy bear.
