The Abused Kids' Project has a new name and a new website all its own! We are now the "Emergency Doll & Bear Dispatch". If you don't believe in miracles, maybe you will after reading this story! Just one week ago, this project was in serious trouble. The fund was nearly out of money and there was no foreseeable source of new revenues. After some intense praying, a beautiful angel just showed up unexpectedly, right when we needed her most! Kimberly Lasher, one of today's hottest and best doll artists has offered to make a one of a kind 23" resin ball jointed doll to benefit the project! This assuredly stunning, but yet to be unveiled, work of art will be sold on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to the kids. Members of the Lasher BJDs Yahoo Group have enthusiastically agreed to donate special one of a kind outfits, accessories, critters and more, to go with Kim's special doll. What an incredible group of ladies! All items will be offered concurrently but in separate eBay auctions, tentatively planned for the third week in October.
But that's not all! Kim decided that we needed a whole new website for the project, so she built one-in about 5 days! She also created our new, fabulous logo that only a wonderfully talented artist could have! She purchased the URL, paid for two years of webhosting and has offered to maintain the site. We are hoping to get more exposure there! Thank you, Kim; you are amazing! Because of you, and all the kind people who will find us now, many more hurting children will have comforting companions to brighten their days.
If anyone would like to help, we urgently need cash donations! We need funds to get us through until the auction proceeds come in. THANK YOU, big time, to all of our wonderful supporters! We couldn't do this without you!
Many hugs,
Nancy
We have transferred all our info to the new site. However, we left the children's letters here, because we know you love them! Their names have been removed to protect their privacy.

Dear friends, The children's letters are really for all of us. Each one is an eloquent testimony of what loving people, working together, can do to make a difference. Every donation, large or small, helps to bring a little joy and comfort to a desperately hurting child. Please think about how huge this is! As of May 7th, 2010, we have brightened the lives of approximately 400 children! You are all angels in my mind. You keep me going and you regenerate my faith in humankind, every single day. Together we can do amazing things (and we have)! THANK YOU for caring! Many hugs, Nancy |
