On Feb. 4, Mitchell Airport tweeted a photo of a teddy bear found in the concourse. The lost teddy bear was likely left in the airport by someone flying to or from Milwaukee on Jan. 4. The post attracted 143 retweets, yet no luck finding the owners of the stuffed animal yet.

The bear has a Heart Warrior design on the front, indicating that it may belong to a child with coronary heart disease.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!

The post had already attracted 410 retweets and counting. Children’s Wisconsin joined the search as well. The teddy bear may belong to one of the patients at the hospital’s Herma Heart Institute.”
Is anyone missing this sweet friend? It was found at Milwaukee’s @MitchellAirport on Jan. 4 and could very likely belong to one of our Herma Heart kiddos. Teddy bears just like this are often given to patients with congenital heart disease. https://t.co/lAdKTw3IUJ
