I started Dolls for Daughters® exactly three years ago this week. I had no idea the difference it would make. I also had no idea how much support I would get from friends. This story is about one such friend.

I have had the pleasure over the last year to get to know an amazing woman who experienced the loss of a daughter. This daughter’s name is Lacey. Lacey has an amazing mother named SuzAnne. Though our experiences, SuzAnne and I were brought together to give back to others who have lost a child. We forged a friendship and I am thankful for her and for that friendship.

SuzAnne’s family and friends bowl at Thanksgiving in memory of Lacey and this year she asked these friends and family to bring a doll to donate to Dolls for Daughters®. Boy did they bring dolls, they bought 112 dolls. Yes 112 dolls to give back to Dolls for Daughters® and our community. Wow! Thank you SuzAnne! Thank you to the amazing people you have in your life that are willing to give back in memory of Kenzi and Lacey.
