Erendira Guerrero Quinones, a compassionate tailor from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, has found a heartfelt way to support families mourning loved ones lost to COVID-19. By repurposing the clothes of the deceased into unique teddy bears, Guerrero offers a tangible symbol of remembrance and comfort. Each teddy bear, infused with personal memories, helps families feel a continued connection with those they've lost. \"In Mexico, remembering your loved ones is part of our culture. We believe that our relatives are not gone but transcended to another place. We use this teddy bear to represent the lost ones to perceive them as if they are still with us,\" said Guerrero. Through her innovative craft, Guerrero not only honors the memories of the departed but also provides solace to those navigating the grief brought on by the pandemic.
