We have found that this Jesus doll was very comforting to the sick children that the Pediatric Mission helps.

It also gave comfort to their siblings (who suffer, as well).

It's not unusual for me to send 7, 8, 9, or more dolls at once...for an entire family!

Why does this Jesus doll bring comfort to the sick children and their siblings?

1. Familiarity: This Jesus doll represents Jesus' love, compassion, and protection. The familiar image of Jesus provides a sense of security and reassurance, especially during times of illness.
   

2. Connection to Faith: We (even small children) find solace and strength in our faith during difficult times.  This Jesus doll serves as a tangible, hugable source. This Jesus doll reminds them of their connection to Jesus that cares for them.

3. Symbol of Healing and Comfort: Jesus is associated with healing and comfort. Sick children and their families see the Jesus doll as a symbol of hope for recovery and a reminder that they are not alone in their struggle.

4. Source of Emotional Support: Just like a favorite stuffed animal or blanket, a Jesus doll is an object of comfort and companionship for a sick child. The Jesus doll serves as a source of emotional support and a way to cope with the stress and anxiety that can come with being unwell.

5. Distraction and Play: Children often use toys and dolls to play and distract themselves, which can be particularly important when they're unwell. The Jesus doll is also a source of imaginative play that takes their mind off their illness and helps them focus on positive thoughts.

6. Prayer and Meditation: Some of the children use the Jesus doll as a way to engage in prayer or meditation, seeking spiritual strength and guidance during their illness. Holding the Jesus doll while praying can create a sense of connection to their faith and provide a channel for their emotions.
