Bee Brave Buddies Dolls for Kids with Cancer
Natural Awakenings, July 2015
Kids shouldn’t have to deal with Cancer or other life-threatening diseases, but
they do. Bee Brave Buddies hopes to make that road a little bit easier. Bee
Brave Buddies was created by owner of Baby BonBons Rosanna Hope––a children’s
clothing designer, who fashions unique items for little girls made out of
vintage lace. Hope, a cancer survivor herself, has been in remission from leukemia
for several years. From her Miami based studio Hope sews and stuffs by hand
every Bee Brave Buddy doll in an effort to provide every sick or recovering child
with a “special friend” that can support their journey back to health.
“The past years have been so special for Baby Bonbons and we want to give some love back now,” Hope explains in her website. “My dolls were designed to become a new best
forever friend to children around the world who are in treatment for cancer or other childhood illnesses and who need to snuggle or have a magical secret power buddy to be brave.”
There are three Bee Brave Buddies to choose from: Buddy Brave (a boy superhero), Bestie Brave (a girl superhero), and Catie Cuddles (an adorable little girl). Each doll is soft, colorful, cuddly and bald, showing children that they can still be beautiful and strong even without hair. Each doll comes with
a matching hat or headband. The super heroes come with soft minky cape. The girl dolls have special words printed on their long leggings such as giggle, hope, brave, cuddle, snuggle, dream, hugs, smile, laugh, play. Each doll is available in a Caucasian or African-American version.
In the past year, Rosanna Hope has given away about 100 dolls—at Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital in Miami, the University Of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Alex’s Place, and to individual children she has met at other hospitals around the country. The program is simple, for every purchase of a buddy ($25) another is shipped to a child (for free) from their nomination list–a online list anyone can add to by filling out the nomination application provided on their site,
