Soriano is pleading for the return of the bear after she says it was stolen while she was moving to a new apartment on Friday. The call gained volume after celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds and George Stroumboulopoulos each promised $5,000 rewards for its return. Her mother gave her the bear as a gift in December 2017 after she moved to Vancouver from Toronto. Soriano kept the bear, dressed in her mother’s signature style dress and glasses, on her desk. Soon after Soriano received the bear, doctors discovered the tumour was growing and her mother’s health began to decline.
