Support organization

Feel Better Friends

Feel Better Friends accepts regional online requests from an adult friend or family member for a child age 2 through 16 whose serious medical condition makes the child feel different. Volunteers make a one-time custom doll in the child's likeness and can represent hair loss, medical devices, scars, and other characteristics. The applicant must complete the form, email at least two current unfiltered photos, verify the shipping address, sign the electronic release, and remain responsive by email while a volunteer makes the doll.
