Antartica if you can believe it!

In November, 2019 we mailed out a “Good Bye” letter to our many Dollies Making A Difference supporters, about the decision our membership had made to “sunset” our beloved organization.  In this letter, we mentioned how we had distributed Dollies and Teddy Bears to children in “… every continent in the world with the exception of Antartica!”

WELL!  Many time Dollie Ambassador Fred Simmons read this and immediately called to say, “Hold on – I’m going to Antartica next month!”

Thanks to Fred, two Dollies traveled to the bottom of the world, where they were handed over to a fellow explorer to take home to his daughter in Australia.  So, while Fred was unable to personally hand a Dollie to a child IN Antartica (ps: there are NO children in Antartica!), he did the next best thing.

So Dollies have traveled all over the world… to every single continent!

Is anyone going to the moon any time soon?
