Leah Barcus was just 12 years old when she had the idea to gift refurbished American Girl dolls to children in crisis. Now 18, Leah is the founder and executive director of Joy Doll Hospital, a ministry dedicated to restoring American Girl dolls and gifting them to girls around the globe. Leah was homeschooled, and her mom shared that she was a dreamer from a very young age. Leah shares the depth and impact of her Joy Doll Hospital ministry - how much time is invested in each doll being restored, and how the restoration process so beautifully mirrors the Gospel message. She also shares insightful wisdom about what it looks like to step out in faith, even if you don’t feel ready, and letting Christ guide your decisions and path in life.
Being fully ready will never happen, we need to rely on God and He will help you do whatever He created you to do
Each doll comes with its own story, just like the girls they are gifted to
Leah’s mom utilized the homeschooling lifestyle to help hone her children’s God-given interests and talents
Joy Doll Hospital dolls have been gifted both nationally and internationally
