LITTLE ANGELS SUID Investigation Dolls

Our partnership started with a quilt for a newborn baby that was found in a plastic bag in our community. Her quilt, along with several others, was taken to our county coroner, who told others of our mission to

“Use the talents the Lord gave us to help others.”

Deborah Robinson from the SIDS Foundation of Washington contacted us about making dolls for investigators. With her help we have come up with a doll that we would like to make available to the SUID investigation community. A portion of the proceeds will go to the SIDS Foundation and a portion for supplies to make charity quilts.

The featureless dolls are made of light-colored fabric for photographic purposes. A permanent marker may be used to mark the front and back or add facial features as desired. They weigh approximately eight pounds and the weight may be distributed between the body and head as needed. Each investigative doll may be positioned to recreate any scene.

The dolls are $22.00 or $30.00 each, plus shipping and handling. To place orders contact us at vcinwa@yahoo.com or call us at 360-895-0822
