I haven't written in for awhile because my nonprofit is so busy. I would like to make you all aware of me and the difference lifelike dolls make for people with Alzheimer's. My requests have grown to an average of 2 a day. On my website you can view stories and photos of people who have received a doll as well as notes from their families. I encourage you to check it out. As someone who understands the pain these people and their families encounter everyday I would encourage you to check my site out. This is not advertising, I make no money on these dolls.
Almost 2 years ago I received a grant from AFA and everything else has come from our family budget. I have sent out over 200 dolls.
I work closely with Alzheimer's communities would love to hear from you and be able to contribute to this community. There is also a place you can help us, making blankies, sending preemie and newborn outfits, socks and shoes etc. Hope to hear from you. Jacque Mays, Dolls4Alheimers

Thank you for your response. It is helpful to see someone has an interest. It is exciting to watch it grow. The facilities that started off ordering one has returned for 3-4. That says a lot
