My Recovery Buddy

My Recovery Buddy is a group of crafters who make comfort dolls for people who are struggling with difficult challenges in life—sickness, hospital stays, loss, addiction, etc. People contact the site (www.myrecoverybuddy.net) to request a Buddy, and one of the little guys is sent to them, free of charge.

Barbara makes somewhere between two and three hundred Buddies a year and gives them all away to people who need them.

“My concept from the beginning has been to create prayers within these little fellows, so each stitch has been a prayer for the people receiving them, as well as a prayer of comfort sent into the world. I believe “as above, so below” and am utilizing my ability in crafting to try to create comfort for people who are suffering.” explained Barbara Pratt.
