A Doll Like Me

....because everyone deserves to look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own. Why dolls? The topic of inclusivity matters more than ever.

We minimize the importance of "seeing yourself" and downplay how this lack of representation plays out in a child's life - particularly in one of the most powerful industries in the world. The toy industry! WHO we see and HOW we see them makes a difference to a child's emotional development and growth. A Doll Like Me was born out of the idea that our unique differences make us beautiful. At the ve

ry heart of this organization is the idea that children need to see themselves in the toys that they play with. A Doll Like Me is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Donations from our global community ensure that dolls can be provided to families at no charge. Ordering:
You can order dolls here through Facebook messaging...but please understand that I am one person and I have been overwhelmed with messages (in a good way!) What this says is that we, the collective worldwide "we", are hungry for a new narrative...a paradigm shift. We know that dolls can have an incredible impact on the little people who love them. Thank you for your support and your patience. Donations:
I always say that dolls are a tangible form of "kindness." It is my sincere hope that no family will have to pay for their own doll. The kindness of strangers can create ripples of change for our most precious resources...our kids. It is verified here on Facebook, so you can donate (and receive a receipt) right here on the home page. You can also donate through PayPal ([email protected]) and GoFundMe. And, if you would like, you can always mail a check:

Thank you for your support whether it's financial, through your skill set, or in talking about representation and why it matters. YOU have the ability to make a huge difference in the life of a child...

This is a core belief of A Doll Like Me - all children deserve to see their sweet faces in the places that matter.
I think that we wildly underestimate how desperate kids are to be included. Inclusion looks different than it does for adults…see for yourself!

"She said 'wook! It’s just wike me!' I was in tears! What a special ministry you have to allow kids to see themselves in a doll 🥹😍"

I don't have a lot to say because this picture says it all.

Actually, that's not entirely true. I do have something to add. Something really important.

I am pleading with you (maybe even begging you) to consider the power of your words. Remember that behind every doll is the story of a child and sometimes these children experience things that are unimaginable. We owe them (and all children) kindness, empathy, dignity, and genuine inclusivity.
Thank you to for letting me share this photo ❤️

I'm often asked which dolls have been the most difficult ones to make.
Sweet Sophia's was difficult, but not for the reasons you might think.
It's usually not the creative part that's hard. It's knowing the stories...talking to the parents and caregivers...and understanding that the time here on earth is nearing the end. For that reason, I really struggled with Sophia's doll.
You have to understand that these aren't just dolls. Not to the family and not to me.
They represent the work of art that lives, breathes, exists, and longs to be seen - a human life! Behind the dolls are children who are loved by people who desperately want someone to see the same beauty that they do. Even more than that, they want their children to see it, too.
For some of these kids, like Sophia, knowing that their time is limited and being able to have a tiny part in their lives is such a privilege and so incredibly humbling.
I remember when I first saw this picture, it took my breath away and I know it will yours also.

We look alike! Even little ones can see the similarities..."When she saw the g-tube she pointed to hers."

“Some truths about people are so basic, so woven into daily life, that we stop noticing them. One of the deepest is this: every person, everywhere, carries the longing to be seen, heard, and valued.” (Divya Parashar)

Did you know that about half of the doll requests are for boys? Why is that?
It's simple. The longing for "being seen" transcends culture, race, economics, and gender.
