In New Berlin, Amy Jandrisevits spends hours at her sewing table creating dolls that are nearly impossible to find in stores β dolls with scars, birthmarks, limb differences, medical devices, or unique facial features. βοΈβ¨
Through her nonprofit organization A Doll Like Me, she has handcrafted and gifted more than a thousand custom dolls to children around the world living with medical challenges π Each doll is designed to reflect the child receiving it β down to the smallest, meaningful detail.
For many families, the moment their child sees a doll that looks like them is unforgettable. π Itβs not just a toy β itβs validation, confidence, and the quiet message that they are seen exactly as they are.
Amyβs purpose is simple: every child deserves to feel represented.
As she says, βItβs not charity. Itβs representation.β β¨
