Heart for Hearts Girls: Dell from Kentucky, USA

Every Hearts For Hearts Girls^® doll is inspired by real girls from real places around the world. Each doll has her own story to tell, with ideas about how to make life better for her family, community, country, and the world around her.

Whether it's malaria nets in Ethiopia, warm blankets in Appalachia, or ducks in India, Hearts For Hearts Girls' mission is to help girls thrive—and to empower all girls everywhere to "change the world one heart at a time!".

Dell is about 36cm and is wearing her original outfit (but missing her hat).

Dell is a talented ten-year-old girl from the Appalachian region of Kentucky. The coal mine where her daddy worked closed, so Dell and her family moved. Now her mama cooks in the school cafeteria, and her dad and brothers make and sell guitars.

Sometimes Dell visits their old town, bringing food to people who need it. She also knits warm scarves and blankets. But Dell’s dream is to make an album of her own songs about the people in Appalachia.
