Don't Cry...I'm Here

“Don’t Cry…I’m Here” Is In Need of Your Help


With our new administration in the United States, President Biden has signed and Executive Order to rescind Trumps Muslim Ban. This will allow many, many more refugee families into the United States. Because of this, our charity, “Don’t Cry…I’m Here” will be helping many, many more children by providing each newly arriving refugee child with a beautiful Tote Bag of goodies to WELCOME them. We will need to GROW in size to meet the needs of these newly arriving refugee children who come to the United States with very little. They have gone through so much trauma, and we welcome each child with an ethnically dressed teddy bear or doll, plus much more, to help them adjust to their new life in the United States.

We need new 16 and 18 inch dolls, new 24 inch teddy bears, Build-A-Bears, new clothes, new toys and much more to help get the children set up in their new homes.

In addition, we need monetary donations to keep our work going. If you would like to help out monetarily, click on the “DONATE” button above.

Girls From Afghanistan Receive “Don’t Cry…I’m Here” Doll Totes

Photo from Arrive Ministries - 5 girls from a family of 10 that arrived from Afghanistan 0 2-28-20

A TREAT FOR YOU: I received this photo from Laura Johnson who is our connect person at Arrive Ministries. This is a photo of some of the children from an Afghan family of 10 that Arrive Ministries helped to resettle here in the United States. We provided totes for 8 children from this family.

Just look at the looks on their faces. Isn’t this an adorable family from Afghanistan that is now safe here in the United States.

***I want to point something out. Look at the head scarves that 2 of these Afghan girls are wearing. They are very similar to the head scarves that are on our Afghan dolls. Good work in this design, Dawn Chase!
