Meet the Kidpreneurs Spreading Joy: Assembling Dolls for Girls The Holiday Season!
How Kylee & Friends Made a HUGE Impact Assembling Dolls!
Hello Friends! My name is Kylee, or you may know me as Kylee, The Kidpreneur. Last Christmas, we spent our holidays volunteering at an event hosted by fellow Kidpreneur Zoe Oli, the CEO of Beautiful Curly Me.
Over 450 Dolls Assembled!
The day started off rainy, with flooded roads making our journey through Atlanta feel like an adventure. As we drove to the event, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. It was my first time attending a volunteer event like this, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
When we arrived at the warehouse, I was amazed. It was packed with dolls, boxes, doll clothes, accessories, and so much more!
Over 4 different types of Beautiful Curly Me Dolls
I also met Zoe for the first time, along with over 20 other enthusiastic volunteers who came together to give back.
GETTING TO WORK!
My sisters, a few friends, and I jumped right in. Volunteers were split into workstations, and I appointed myself to the assembly line. My job was to dress the dolls in their adorable outfits, put on their shoes, and carefully place them into their boxes. It felt like playing with dolls all over again, but this time with a much bigger purpose!
The warehouse was filled with good music and positive energy as we worked together to create a tower of beautifully assembled dolls ready to be picked up. Soon, various non-profits started arriving to collect the dolls for distribution to little girls across Metro Atlanta.
A COMMUNITY EFFORT
"It was amazing to see what happens when we come together and we all pay it forward".
Over 450 dolls assembled and so much to be thankful for! This was a huge team effort.
"Seeing that mountain of dolls reminded me of the joy of giving! it felt awesome! We can do so much more together to impact a better tomorrow."
