Most little girls like playing with dolls that resemble them, whether that means they share the same color eyes or a similar hair style, or even if they share a disability of some form. Think about it. Don't you like knowing there are other people facing the same challenges you face each day, that you're not alone?
Well, little Emma and her mom Amy are trying to convince Mattel, the maker of the Barbie line of dolls, of that, too. Emma has diabetes and wants a Diabetic Barbie. She's not trying to preach any critical social message about what to eat or how to treat it. She simply wants a Barbie that resembles her, with her special pump that is such a critical part of her daily routine. Emma's mom even created a mock up of what it would look like. Seems simple enough to me.
She has a Facebook group started to help build support for the idea.
There's an effort underway for a bald and beautiful Barbie for cancer patients, too.
Seems to me there could be a complete line of Barbies created for children with special needs.
Why not? They would probably sell well in hospitals around the country, but beyond that, would do so much for the children facing these issues. And how could that be a bad move Mattel?

Sisters Jessica and Stephanie are both mothers of two young children, best friends and own The Hopefull Company. It is a Minnesota based small business which offers a products for children and adults who are having trouble eating due to cancer (and chemotherapy), sensory issues or finicky eating habits. The HopeFULL Company sells a gift pack kit that contains 20 nutrient-dense frozen "meal pop" recipes and the items for making them. HopeFULL's founders say it's popular with parents of finicky eaters and those who just want a healthy snack on hand.
The sisters say they work well together, bringing a different set of skills and talents to the table - creating a perfect pair!
The company was inspired by a family friend who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2009. She had a tough time eating and this helped.
The sisters were recently honored in NYC at the Stevie Awards, an international award recognizing women in business. The HopeFULL Gift Pack was nominated as best new product of the year!
They also were recently on the nationally syndicated daytime talk show "The Nate Berkus Show" (which filmed in NYC November 9th, 2011) to discuss the products, Stevie award nomination and to get styled for The Stevie Award show by Hal Rubenstein, fashion editor of InStyle Magazine.
WHAT'S NEXT: They are off to meet Martha Stewart and attend the Martha Stewart Dreamers Into Doers 2012 Event in NYC this March!
They are also working on product packaging to make the products ready for the retail world. The HopeFULL Company is about helping children and adults eat and enjoy whole foods as well as about paying it forward when ever they can. They donate their time, products and a portion of our proceeds to organizations such as CaringBridge, Open Arms of Minnesota and Children’s Lighthouse of Minnesota, a Future Children’s Hospice Home. They will also begin to focus on helping organizations that are aimed at fighting the childhood obesity crisis.
