"Offering a little hope"
I love these little worry dolls and jumped at the chance to buy a bag of 100. The tradition is for one doll to handle one worry, but I use them slightly differently in my mental health advocacy. I give one to anyone who is worrying about something...or many things.. and say to place the doll under their pillow at night so the worry doll can help find a solution. It is amazing how much a little hope can help.
