Kimmie Cares Dolls

The name of the article is: "A Special Doll for a Special Person", and the link to the website is:
A Special Doll for a Special Person

The "Kimmie Cares” doll is a useful tool to speak to children about what to expect during treatment for breast cancer. It comes with a book (Written in English, Spanish and other languages.) Also on the article's web page, is a video that shows the news story about the Kimmie Cares doll. (I watched it, and thought it was very informative.) The doll comes in a wide choice of ethnic looks so finding one that looks like the person going through treatment should be fairly easy.

Excerpted from the article:

"Money from the dolls goes into a special foundation created in Kim's name called “Partners for a Cure.” Kalnow said her sister’s wish was to help mothers with some of the costs not always covered by medical insurance plans."

“It's not for research, it's to help the actual individual to pay for childcare, to pay for transportation,” she said."

The Partners for a Cure website is:

Where you can purchase your own Kimmie Cares doll. (Right now the doll and book run about $40.00 as a set.)
