VASCULAR BIRTHMARK FOUNDATION: my mark, my doll campaign / EMPATHY IN ACTION
In partnership with Kikilishop, we can give babies and toddlers with birthmarks, a personalized doll in their image that they can relate to. the mission is to encourage young kids with birthmarks to embrace their identity, self-love, and self-reflection for those growing up in the birthmarks community.
imagine growing up with a doll that looks like you.
Did you know that 1 in every 10 babies is born with a birthmark?
