One gift that can be such a blessing to a child is a doll. They can be hard to find on sale, so keep your eyes open. Here are a couple of stories of precious children and their baby dolls:

Hanna and her new doll
Hannah Ruth, is a lovely two-year old girl. I spotter her cheerfully
cuddling her new baby doll from the shoebox. Then her mother told me
that one day, along the street, Hannah found a ragged doll with a broken
head in a garbage bag. She brought it home and used to place it beside
her when she sleeps. And how happy she was when she received a brand
new baby doll that just looks like the same with her old doll. Her
whole family was amazed at how God answered that little desire of
Hannah's heart. With this incident, they were reminded once again that
truly God answers prayers. God can hear every word, thought, and
desire. Even the slightest whisper of a child, He can decipher.

A blessed day in the
Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am the mother of Jelly Mae Mariano.
My daughter is only two years old so I am writing this letter in her
behalf. Thank you so much for the gift she received, including a doll.
She is so happy to finally have a real doll to play with. She even
sleeps with her toy. Before, she used to play with a bottle of coke as
her doll. So when we found out that there will be gifts for children, I
told my daughter to pray to Papa Jesus that she will get a doll as a
gift. Upon opening the gift box, she found a big doll which she
embraced immediately. I ask my daughter to thank Papa Jesus for
answered prayer. I never expected her to get a doll and it is a big
one. I almost shed a tear of joy; my daughter could not contain her
happiness. That is why I am thanking first of all the Lord Jesus Christ
and secondly, the Samaritan's Purse. The bible says that it is more
blessed to give than to receive. This is all I can say with this letter
of thanksgiving. May you be blessed by our Lord Jesus.
