Share your stitchy love with Haiti

February 18, 2010 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Abundant Ground invites you to make “a better world one dolly at a time.” The charity’s site says,

Sarah Hanson and her Dolly Donations program has teamed with the Abundant Ground Foundation in an attempt to bring some stability and comfort to the children of Haiti. Abundant Ground is helping to provide food and shelter for 181 orphans in Haiti, and Dolly Donations is attempting to create a special handmade doll for each of them. Even in the wake of monumental disaster a doll can symbolize to a child the beauty in the world around them…

Hanson has created a template for the dolls as well as a series of photo and video tutorials, letting anyone who might be interested in creating dolls for the Haitian orphans have a chance to help even if they’ve never made a doll before.  All of the information about creating the dolls and sending them to the Abundant Ground Foundation can be found on the Dolly Donations blog.

Please join in this effort if you can. Many thanks to One Red Robin for making us aware of this work.

    Thank You (and the wonderfully talented Jhoanna from One Red Robin) so much for spreading the word about Dolly Donations.

    I’m very excited to report that we have currently made 102 dolls for Haiti orphans! Our goal is 181, but if we go over (and I hope we do!) The Abundant Ground Foundation will be handing the extra dollies out to the local children who have nothing to call their own.

    Please feel free to drop by any time to see how we’re doing!

    Thanks everybody, I couldn’t do this without your help!
