Everyday Hero

She makes special dolls to comfort foster kids!

- Bill Holton

When Jennie Cullin saw a news story about the sad plight of foster kids, she remembered the comfort she got as a child from her baby doll and decided to give these special kids a special friend too

Those poor kids,” Jennie Cullin, 77, sighed as she and her husband, Jim, watched the local Hudsonville, Michigan, news story about a woman who creates “First Night Bags” filled with pj’s, underwear, toothbrushes and other necessities for kids entering the foster care system. They lose so much, Jennie thought, and prayed, “Dear God, is there some way I can use any talents You’ve given me to help them?”

When the news ended, Jennie headed to her sewing room—and found the answer to her prayer.
