This is a story from one of the recipients of our program. The Wilson family is a Marine Corps family stationed in San Diego, California.

Here’s from Courtney Wilson, whose husband is a Marine out of San Diego:

“I am so appreciative of the Daddy Dolls that were given to my twins!

My husband was deployed for 7 months while I was pregnant and gave birth 2 1/2 months premature to Colby and Chloe. He returned home 3 months after their birth and hospitalization, and then re-deployed 9 months later for a 12 month deployment. He left right after the twins turned 1 and won’t return home until after they turn 2.

The dolls mean so much to my twins because they are able to hug and kiss their “daddy” every night. It helps them keep daddy in their lives so that hopefully, when he returns, they will be somewhat familiar with him.

Thank you so much for your generosity in giving each child their own doll. (They have a tendency to fight over the same toys, so I’m grateful that they each have their own personalized doll.) Their daddy doll is very special to them.”
