2024 Hurricane Helene Relief
Bring Joy to Children in Crisis This Holiday Season
This holiday season, Joy Doll Hospital is on a mission to collect 200 dolls—our most ambitious goal yet. With your help, we’ll achieve something truly special: the largest single gift of Joy Dolls in our history.
Our mission has always been to bring comfort and love to children in crisis, and this year, we have a unique opportunity to make a profound impact. We’ve partnered with agencies and organizations that support children in challenging circumstances, and this December, we’re focusing on reaching children in Buncombe County, North Carolina, an area deeply affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
In December 2024, we’ll deliver 68 Joy Dolls to children who have lost so much due to the hurricane. This gift, made possible by the restoration work of our Doll Doctor, the dedication of our volunteers, and the generosity of our supporters, will be the largest presentation we’ve ever made to a single organization.
But the need doesn’t stop there. Meeting our goal of 200 dolls will not only replenish our stock for regular gifting cycles with partner organizations but also ensure that we’re prepared to respond to future needs.
We’re honored to bring joy and comfort to these children in a time of such hardship. Yet, we know there are many more children and families we can’t reach, and that weighs on our hearts. With your help, we can continue to bring hope to as many children as possible.
How You Can Help:
- Donate used 18″ American Girl dolls in any condition
- Donate gently used or new 18″ doll clothing and accessories
- Contribute financially to support restoration and delivery.
- Spread the word about our mission.
Together, we can make a difference. Let’s bring joy, one doll at a time.
Donate now and help us meet our goal!

2023 Ukrainian Refugee Children Project
Ukrainian Project
The eyes of the world have turned to Ukraine as crisis has enveloped that nation. Joy Doll Hospital is working to bring some comfort and joy to some of the children affected there and to share our special message of hope.
Joy Doll mission in the news
Joy Doll Hospital was recently in the news as word of our Ukrainian Project spreads. The Doll Doctor has been working hard to prepare 40 dolls for transport to Hungary where they will be delivered to children fleeing the violence of war in Ukraine.
WOrking with Partners
Joy Doll Hospital is a small non-profit that generally serves regional areas in the United States. It takes excellent partnerships with other organizations to reach those we want to help and the Ukrainian Project is reaching further than we’d ever imagined. We are thankful to partner with groups like UKRHelp Foundation, One Mission Society, Hope International Missions and individual churches like Voice of Hope in Washington State to enable us to spread joy around the world to children experiencing the crisis of war in Ukraine.
But we can’t do any of it without you..
With a single doll doctor, it takes a lot to accomplish the Joy Doll mission, but it wouldn’t work at all without the generous support of our donors and sponsors. We collect used American Girl dolls for the doll doctor to restore, as well as, new, handmade or gently used 18″ doll clothing, shoes, and accessories for the dolls to wear.
We also receive financial blessings that are used to buy restoration supplies, boxes, backpacks, paints, and materials for delivery preparation, and unusual expenses- such as suitcases and baggage fees to transport the dolls overseas.
