thanks. if you've read my very long blog, you know dolls go out mostly to kids with cancer, some needing transplants, some with abuse issues, and the list goes on. One 3 year old needed a heart and liver transplant...don't know how she is doing. Two long ago were 'laid to rest' with their dolls. Recently i gave 4 dolls with two to go within a family of 9 that are broken up into 3 or 4 foster homes now and do not see either mother or father, as far as I know. Illegal stuff not yet proven of possible sexual nature (????) and also reports of beatings to mom and maybe a kid or two. NOthing for sure...in and out of courts right now. Some quilters are sending each of the 9 a quilt for me to give them to help in the comforting process. Sad that children have to suffer. It hurts me to think of it. I just do what I can while I can. I have 34% of my lungs from emphysema and will turn 72 the 8th. At least I can do this. I hope to reach a goal of 200 at least. when I deliver the next two dolls, it means 115 dolls found a child to love them. thanks again.
