The actor has been helping someone find a lost item that means a lot to them. That being said, Ryan Reynolds went as far as to offer a $5,000 reward if the custom teddy bear lost by a woman would be returned to her – no questions asked!

The touching story is that Mara Soriano, a 28 year old woman, was moving into her new Vancouver apartment last week when she, amid everything, lost sight of her backpack for a bit and it disappeared!

As a result, she lost all of the contents of the said backpack, including a book of blank checks, her iPad, citizenship card, a Nintendo Switch, her passport and more!

However, the one item she really cares about is a stuffed animal that features an audio recording of her late mom, Marilyn Soriano, who sadly passed away after battling cancer last year. She was only 53.

‘It just makes me feel devastated. I’m absolutely crushed. At hospice her voice was different. Much softer. Not the mom I grew up with. That bear’s the last memory I have of her talking in her normal voice. She said she loved me and was proud of me and that she will always be with me,’ she told CBC during an interview. ‘The bear has a message in it in Filipino. It says ‘I love you,’ but in our language. So it is very specific and unique.’
