Supporting girls with cancer one doll at a time

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – For every $39.99 artisanal doll sold, My Pretty Little Gift is donating a little doll to a pediatric cancer patient in Venezuela.

Vanessa Barrera founded the company after undergoing treatment for breast cancer about two years ago when she was 34 years old.
