 Welcome to Molly's Babies, a   501(c)(3) Connecticut-based non-profit.  formed for the express purpose of   seeing that families in need .... financially or sometimes emotionally ....   can get a baby doll for their little girls who might otherwise not have one to   cuddle and love. Nothing is as important to a   little girl as having a doll to hold, dress and care for.  Little "Mommies"   learn so many subtle lessons from cuddling and caring for their dolls that not   having a baby doll can be a developmental opportunity missed.

        | SWEET

          Dream Blankies was started in an effort to help give comfort to children as they enter into the foster care system in North 
          Alabama.
 So far, we are only large enough to take care of the children 
          at the
 Limestone County DHR, but someday, my dream is to branch out to 
          other
 surrounding areas. We are sew-ers, knitters, and crocheters, and 
          make
 either afghans, 12" squares (to be joined into afghans), scarves, 
          hats,
 and bags for coloring books/crayons for the kids.
 Please only use acrylic worsted weight type yarn for the afghans 
          and squares,
 as this yarn holds up really well with children's use.
 We hope that through our work, we will help kids
 have sweet dreams that they deserve. Thanks!

          Angels" is an organization made up completely of volunteers 
          who make and distribute baby blankets to local hospitals to 
          give to parents who have suffered the loss of their infant through 
          miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death.  | 
      
        | AFGHANS 
          FOR ANGELS VIRGINIA CHAPTER
 | Our "Afghans 
          for Angels" are placed lovingly around these infant Angels 
          when they are held by their families for the brief time in which 
          bittersweet hellos and sad good-byes are said. The parents are 
          then allowed to keep these afghans as a token of rememberance 
          of their baby. Just having something soft to hold is comforting 
          for the parents.  | 
      
        | GIVING 
          HANDS | We collect items, crochet supplies 
          or finished productsand donate them to charities. Many of the items we collect are 
          partial pieces, such as granny squares, that are assembled into 
          items such as afghans and baby blankets. The finished products 
          are then donated to the charities.
