An Iowa couple visiting Florida last month is asking for help finding a special stuffed animal that has their son's ashes inside. They brought the stuffed animal on the trip as a way to take their late son to Disney, a place he always dreamed of going but never got to visit.

You sing with me. You are my sunshine, sunshine. How much would it mean to you to have Bruce found, if I had all the money in the world, I would give it to whoever found him. Honestly, Liz Atkinson says she was on a trip to Florida with her husband and son, Sebastian visiting the beaches and the theme parks. When somewhere along the way, they lost a stuffed animal named Bruce. I remember Sebastian holding him but my husband got off the boat with him first and he's the one that buckled him. Part of me just wonders. Did it fall out in the parking lot in the orange parking ramp at or the orange ramp at Disney Springs? And we just didn't know the family had to return home but posted this on Facebook. A plea for the public's help finding Bruce a task close to their hearts. Not because of Bruce's cute and cuddly appearance, but because of where he's been and what's inside him, Bruce has been at every hospitalization. There's far too many to count. He's been with my son, every procedure. My son that's surviving holds Bruce and cries when he's missing his brother Atkinson's other son, Gabriel passed away just days shy of his eighth birthday due to a number of medical issues. His ashes were placed inside the stuffed animal which the family took to Disney in honor of him because he always wanted to go. Now, Atkinson says hundreds of people have messaged her about finding Bruce. Hundreds of strangers offering to help. People have just that don't even know me have stepped up and said, we'll go look for you. We can't imagine. And like I said, people have spent their whole days off just retracing my steps for me and talking to people and just trying to get it out there. So hopefully wherever he is, he gets back home. You never know much. I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

Missing stuffed animal

You’ll meet his bloodshot, menacing gaze in any number of neighborhoods in New York, his mouth stretched into an open, hungry grin, his tentaclelike limbs ready to envelop you. In Chinatown, he is lashed to display racks in front of shops selling New York City-themed cooking aprons or “Got Weed?” T-shirts; in Brooklyn, he’s a frequent presence on the tabletops of sidewalk sellers. He might be blue, or orange or tie-dye, or even wearing a little Santa hat and Christmas scarf.
