How sad! What happened in her life, that she doesn't have anything? Is she a foster child or something? My mom lost everything she had to a house fire when she was 12, including her pet kitten they couldn't get out of the house. Now we always do the "Adopt a child" program at Christmas for foster children. It's so good that you're helping this girl.
Her Mom and her left Jamaica (Island) last year, I think their house was destroyed by a major hurricane. Elizabeth's father is no longer in the picture, they do not talk about him and I do not ask her cause I do not want her feeling sad. So doing something like this, I know will cheer her up.
Ouch, how hard to lose a parent and a home in one year :-(.

I just had to comment on what you wrote. Although I know you mean well, if the situation about her father is "sad," I can assure you that she feels sad whether someone asks about him or not.
One of the saddest things to me since my DH died is that NO ONE will mention him. Yes, his death was sad, but I, along with my daughters, would love to talk about him. But no one every brings him up. My daughters have told me that everyone else acts like he never existed, because they won't even bring up his name. And they are hurt a lot more by that than by someone asking if their Dad "is still in the picture."

Thanks Linda, if she ever wants to talk about her Dad, I am all ears. But thanks for helping me on how to approach the situation. I have not dealt with too many kids loosing their parent. At camp we are not allowed to talk to kids about that, Elizabeth is not a camp kid, so if the situation ever comes up, I will let her tell me about her Daddy. [img]smile.gif[/img]
No idea how I missed your post. Sorry. I'm in; if a bit late. Can I make the bedding or do you already have it? I'm up for whatever you need done. List anything else that might make the collection more enjoyable, or pm me if you would rather. I can get started right away.

I will look forward to seeing an album of the happy day when this child gets her Addy doll. :-)
Ria,
I just PMed you!!
