On May 9, an Iowa couple visiting WDW and vacationing at the Parks lost a stuffed animal that belonged to their late son and carried the son’s remains within.
Liz Atkinson, the mother of the late son, told reporters on Monday that she, her husband, and her other son were at the beaches and the Theme Parks when someplace somehow, they lost the stuffed elephant named Bruce.
Liz told reporters she remembered their son Sebastyan holding the stuffed elephant. Still, her husband had gotten off a boat first, leading her to believe the stuffed animal could be at the following locations:
- Disney Springs
- Disney Parking lot (not specified)
When the Iowa family returned home, they posted a plea on their Facebook pages asking the public for help finding this beloved stuffed animal.
The stuffed elephant contained the last remains of their late son because the stuffed animal was beloved to him, and Disney World was the place he had always wanted to go.
The stuffed animal has joined their late son in almost every hospital they know of, far too many to count, according to the mother, Liz.
Hundreds of people have messaged the family, letting them know they are joining the search party and doing their best to spread the news and let everyone who can help understand.
