I started making the Guardian Angel dolls a few months ago after my 6 year old great-nephew received one from an out-of-state crafter when he was in the hospital with a serious illness. I saw how much comfort and hope the doll gave him. I believe that having the Guardian Angel Doll really helped his recovery and I decided that I wanted to do that for other children like him.

Guardian Angel Dolls. These soft fabric stuffed dolls are individually handmade, each with a message of love and comfort.

The Guardian Angel Dolls are given to young children who have suffered a trauma (such as loss of a parent, abuse, violence) or who have a serious illness. The dolls give them comfort and reassure them that they are loved and that they are never alone. I provide the Guardian Angel Dolls to local first responders, including church personnel, police, and fireman so that they can give them to the children in need of comfort and support.

I love children. I want to help children who are suffering. When they hug their Guardian Angel Doll, the children can feel comforted and loved.
