Why Dolls for Daughters®?
People often ask, Why Dolls for Daughters®? The answer is provided to you by the Founder of Dolls for Daughters® and Kenzi’s Kidz, Jessica Bachus, in her own words.
In 2007, Jessica Bachus started Dolls for Daughters®, after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. She created an annual holiday Toy Drive for Colorado children who would not otherwise have toys during the holidays. Today, Kenzi’s Causes collects more than 100,000 toys, stocking stuffers, books, toothbrush/toothpaste kits, backpacks, lunch boxes and other items to change the lives of children in Colorado through our programs. At this annual event, families are also provided with community resources to help improve their lives and the lives of their children.
