A Little Rock woman is looking to give away dolls to help kids in the community who are losing their hair. A group called Sisters living with Alopecia is kicking off their first doll donation drive for kids in the cancer unit at Children's Hospital this holiday season.
The group's founder, Stacie Tucker, has Alopecia--an autoimmune skin disease that leads to hair loss. Tucker is raising money to buy Hope Bratz or Moxie dolls that sport bald hair styles, for children with conditions that cause hair loss.
"If I can put a smile on one child's face, that would make my day, and to see that one baby smile and say, this doll looks like me mommy," said Tucker.
Tucker says she hopes to donate a hundred dolls, so far she has 20. For more on her doll drive, click here.
