Beyond Silent Comfort:
The Power of a Smile!
Carol Isfeld’s original Izzy Dolls had no eyes or mouths, symbolizing their role as silent confidants for children. While comforting children remains key, click here to read how we encourage volunteers to express their creativity through the use of varied features, colours & outfits.
Mark Isfeld’s Legacy
