Faceless Dolls Craft Toys For Cancer Children

These dolls are being made and donated to the Disney Children's Hospital. The dolls are personalized
by young cancer patients as they go through treatment.When they get the doll, patients are asked to give it a name and a face,based on their feelings. Each doll wears a hospital gown that opens in the back. The children relate to the doll in many ways. Each child get to take the dolls home, but at the hospital they are used for therapeutic play.
They plan to teach other women how to make the "me dolls" with hopes that they too, will take on the prouect in order to provide as many dolls as possible to local hospitals for the children who can beneftit from them.
Any other group or individuals that are interested in helping making the Me Dolls can email a request for the pattern.

This is such a nice thing to be involved in. I wish that I knew how to sew so that I could help out.

WendyMichelle....Sorry no one has answered your emails. It has been a long time since I posted about this. Probably She is not there anymore.
The telephone #at Florida Hospital is 407-303-5585
Can also contact Traci Woods - Child Life Specialist

JacquelineLorenzetti@flhosp.org

There is also a church that has been making dolls and getting paid for them. Hope this helps.
