GOOD VIBES: Ryan Reynolds Helps Reunite Woman With Stolen Teddy Bear Containing Her Late Mother’s Voice
Mara’s mother passed away last year and before she died, she recorded a special voice message for Mara and placed it in a Build-A-Bear.
Unfortunately, a bag containing the bear was stolen during a recent move, and when Mara’s internet plea to find the bear went viral, Ryan Reynolds stepped up to offer a cash reward of $5,000 dollars.
Vancouver: $5,000 to anyone who returns this bear to Mara. Zero questions asked. I think we all need this bear to come home. https://t.co/L4teoxoY50

Mara was reunited with the bear this week, after two men recognized the thief in security footage that Mara has shared online.
I’m so happy that Mara’s story had a happy ending! I’m not an overly materialistic person, but some sentimental items are irreplaceable–I have cabbage patch kid that Santa brought me when I was three, and I’d be heartbroken if I ever lost her!
