Wisconsin Mom Sews Unique Dolls for Kids Who 'Need Something That Looks Like They Do'
Amy Jandrisevits has always liked to make kids smile. One day in 2015, a mom whose daughter lost a leg to amputation asked Jandrisevits, a longtime dollmaker, if she could craft a mini-me doll for the girl.
“Differences make kids feel isolated and judged,” Jandrisevits, 46, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “With the doll, a child sees, ‘I am not the only one who looks this way…and beautiful enough to be a doll.'” Despite a waiting list of about two years, Jandrisevits insists on making each doll herself, with a little help from her mother and a friend. If a child is terminally ill, Jandrisevits moves them to the front of the list.RELATED: 8 Children with Custom Dolls Just as Unique as They Are
