Please consider making some dolls without faces for these children. As for the skirts, you could just do a simple continual nine patch pattern.
Thats a fine idea. Do they have a special Native American organization for children with serious medical problems that need a doll? Could you give me an address, etc???
I will check into that for you. Off hand I don't know of any Native American Hospitals but I will research it and get back to you. Thank you for considering giving to them too.
I love all children. Some of the dolls have a white body fabric. none have hair as most go to kids with cancer and the chemo makes them lose their hair, and a hat keeps their heads warm. I hav attached the two in one doll I just finished that MAY be going to St. Judd's.
