At any one time,
more than 500,000 children have at least one parent deployed overseas in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Having a parent deployed to a war zone for an
uncertain amount of time is among the most stressful events a child can
experience.
Operation Give a Hug is a
non-profit, all-volunteer program established in 2004 to help
comfort military children by giving them special dolls, often referred to by
children as their daddy or mommy doll. Read Maddie's
story to learn about the important role this doll played in her young
life. Each doll
provides a place to put the photo of the deployed parent and gives a child a
tangible way of relating to that parent.
The goal of Operation Give a Hug is to give dolls to military children
throughout the world who are missing Mom or Dad during the long deployments.
Because this is an all-volunteer program, ALL donations go directly to
providing dolls for children.
You can help us provide
this comfort to the little ones left behind. For a donation of just $6 you
can provide a military child with a doll.
