While browsing a toy catalog Hannah Feda, 9 years old at the time, told her mother that none of the dolls pictured looked like her. Hannah, now 13, has her wish thanks to her mother.
In an article for the Huffington Post by Jessica Samakow and an accompanying video entitled Dolls For Downs: Mom Connie Feda Creates Dolls Inspired By Her Daughter, Connie Feda explains how Hannah’s observation inspired her to imagine a home business idea that would create and sell a doll that looked like her beautiful daughter.
Hannah has Downs Syndrome. Connie’s mission and passion is to "represent children with disabilities in an honest, favorable light and give kids with disabilities a friend for life." The article notes “With the help of sculptor Karen Scott, occupational therapists and other parents of children with Down syndrome, Feda was able to create dolls that physically reflect what her daughter and other kids see in the mirror.”
