Meet Bella. She's a 9-year-old girl living in our community, and she is on a mission...a mission to change the lives of children battling cancer at CHOA Aflac Cancer Center, one American Girl doll at a time.
Bella has joined forces with Kids Boost, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and equipping kids to make a difference in the world, and is hosting an event this week to get her closer to her goal of raising $3,250. And, you're invited!
Why Bella Chose CHOA Aflac Cancer Center
"I choose to donate bald American Girl dolls to little girls going through chemotherapy/radiation that have experienced hair loss. I want to make a little girl feel happy when they are scared or sad in the hospital. Also, I want them to know to always be happy, be brave and have faith in God about what they are going through. With their new doll they will also get a hospital gown, hospital bracelet, socks and get well card. That way they can dress the same as their new friend."
