Giving children a chance to love again
By Kristin Jeffries
Staff Writer
Gladys Webb has a love of dolls and
she was thrilled to have the chance to
share that love with little girls who
really need it - those who find shel
ter at Family Haven.
When Webb saw that the Madame
Alexander Doll Club of which she is a
member was doing a special give
away for worthy charities, she imme
diately thought of Family Haven in
Cumming, the county’s only shelter
for battered women and their
children.
“I have seen first hand when wom
en come in here and hadn’t even had
any time to bring any toys with them,”
she said.
Both Webb and her daughter, Linda
Henderson, wrote a short paragraph
about Family Haven to the club presi
dent, who had planned to give about
five dolls to each charity.
“How much comfort a doll is to a
child who has been sexually or physi
cally abused, all toys left at home be
cause Mom had to get out!!” Webb
wrote.
Her daughter wrote, “Children at
Family Haven have experienced
abuse. A baby doll will allow a child a
chance to share unconditional love
without risking pain. Please help.”
Just recently shelter director De
lores V. Mitchell received not five but
20 dolls of Alexander’s Muffin and
Jessica designs for little girls to love.
The dolls are worth between $75 and

$lO5 each and are collector’s items -
but not so much that they cannot be
hugged.
The dolls will be good therapy, said
Webb.
Mitchell agrees. She hopes the dolls
will ease the girl’s transitions to the
shelter.
When the children come in they are
disoriented and frightened to death,
she said. Over the next couple of days
of living without fear they begin to
laugh and enjoy life again.
“Now we need something for the
boys,” she said.
Mitchell hasn’t had the opportunity
to give one of the dolls away yet, but
Webb hopes to do the honors when
the time comes.
“I just want to see the looks on their
faces,” she said.
The number of children in the shel
ter varies from month to month. Last
December only one child was living in
the shelter. However, last June, 21
children called Family Haven their
temporary home.
Toys are always a need as well as
food, clothing, baby formula, diapers,
paper goods and funds for operating
expenses, said Mitchell.

gency shelter, but Family Haven of
