Arial's Dolls For Dementia hasn't added a story.
Hello, my name is Chevonne and my now 17-year-old daughter Arial and I run Arial's dolls for Dementia. We make life like dolls that weigh, feel and smell like real babies. We then give them away to people who are suffering with dementia. Arial's doll's for dementia came from our for-profit business called Arial's nursery. A couple of nurses brought dolls for their dementia patients. After speaking with the nurses, I decided to do a little research on doll therapy. Next thing you know Arial's Dolls for Dementia was born.
Currently we’re funding this non-profit ourselves. My daughter and I spend hundreds of hours working on these dolls. The dolls cost $300-$590 to make not including labor. As of right now we are sending the dolls to people fair skin with closed eyes to keep the cost low. We would like to expand and give the caretakers more choices to what their love one’s baby should look like. The money would be used to buy supplies needed to make the dolls, manage website, bank fees, shipping fees, shipping supplies, internet fees, advertising fees, legal fees, employee fees, funding fees, and just day to day operating fees.
We are asking for help because we can no longer fund this
ourselves, and the demand was honestly more than what we expected. Our
dolls are bringing comfort to people suffering with dementia. They're
giving the caretakers some peace because of the calmness the dolls
bring to their love ones. Doctor visits are becoming easier, some are
smiling that have not smiled in years. We get so many testimonies by
email; Facebook post and it feels amazing. So please help us help
these families.
Our Dream for Arial's Doll's for dementia is to have a
beautiful, relaxing facility. Where people suffering with dementia
could come and have doll therapy with qualified staff members. Care
takers would have a choice to relax in an area close by designed just
for them or they could just leave their Loved ones with us while they
go run an errand or two. We would like all of this to be free for the
patients and their families. So, we thank you in advance for your help
and generosity.
