Do You Have Old Barbies To Donate to Children Seeking Asylum with Their Family in NYC?
We saw this fantastic story on the news about Barbara Lakin, who was refurbishing old Barbie dolls to give to little girls who have arrived in NYC.
Barbara washes discarded Barbie dolls that she finds at yard sales or people donate. She fixes their hair and sews new outfits for the dolls.
Then she wraps the dolls in a cellophane bag and puts a hair tie at the top of the bag. The Little Shop of Kindness helps give out the dolls to the children. (Story here)
Barbara Lakin remarked that she wished she could give the girls Barbies that looked like them (most of the dolls she had were blonde).
If you have any Barbie dolls or accessories for the doll that you want to donate, you can send it to this address:
Amazon has Barbies for around $10, so you can still participate if you want to!
Hugs,
