With the recent news of President Obama’s announcement for troop increases to Afghanistan, we have seen a huge upsurge in family’s requesting our services. We are pleased to be able to support our little hero’s as the Moms and Dads deploy to support us all.
This is a recent recipients letter of thanks. From the Castro’s an Army Family living in Germany.
The Family Story as Told by the deploying father, Sergeant Castro
I have a 2 year old son that just broke my heart saying goodbye to. We are very close to each other. Since I left he would cry for me. It breaks my heart for my wife to deal with this every day for a year.
This is the recent email we received from Imani’s mom
Thank you so much for this wonderful program! Imani received his Daddy Doll today and was so excited to get to hug and kiss his miniature daddy!
Imani is 2 1/2 years old and this is already his 2nd deployment. His Dad left for Afghanistan the first time when he was only 6 days old and just recently left again for another tour last month. He was so excited to own his Daddy Doll. He now takes him everywhere in the house. Once again, thank you for this wonderful gift..
Respectfully,
Julie Castro

Here is a great heart felt story about a family whose children are recent recipients of Hug a Hero Dolls.
Brendan and Alamae love their daddy dolls. They never want to go anywhere without them. Brendan has to go to the hospital once a week and he takes it with him each time. The nurses and doctor think it’s the coolest thing ever!! Alamae is 7 years old and she’s a real daddy’s girl. She loves to keep her doll close. She brings her daddy to school and shows him to everyone. It is her favorite thing to take for show and tell. She gets to talk about him to her friends and I know that makes her so proud! These dolls are the most amazing thing ever created. We are so thankful for them. We take them everywhere we go…hospitals, restaurants, and best of all to their military support group.
