Who is Sasha?

Sasha is 1 year old baby from Russia.

Little Sasha is only 1 year old. She is very seriously ill: she has Ohtahara syndrome - Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy with Burst-Suppression (EIEE).

My Friend Diane has provided me with some information about

Ortahara Syndrome

I have read about Sasha on a Doll Related Page on Facebook and saw this picture:

My heart was crossed after seeing this picture.

Such a sweet baby with an angelic Face but so so sad...

Facebook Page was a Case for Raising Funds for Sasha for her operation in Germany.

Not long ago Sasha's parents and friends managed to raise money enough to take Sasha to Germany for an operation. Currently Sasha is still staying in Germany and undergoing medical treatment.

Sasha's picture after the operation:

I know that Sasha is much better now. But still can not smile.

I couldn't forget her face and wanted to do at least something nice for her so I offered her mother a doll made by me....

But they told me that Sasha is still very weak and can't hold anything in her hands and one side is still paralyzed.

I asked if they would need some money instead and they said yes, because only Sasha's Father is working and his income is not enough to support the family.

Her mother can not work because she must take care of Sasha every minute..

Sasha is going back to Russia from Germany soon and she will have to go through a long (and pricey) rehabilitation period...

So I decided to dedicate the baby Hope to Sasha

HOPE FOR SASHA'S SMILE

Hope is Born on Russian (Orthodoxal) Christmas Day.

The 7th of January so maybe it makes Hope even more special?

It is a very Special Baby, something I can do for Sasha and it truly comes from the bottom of my Heart and Soul!

100% of Hope's Sale will go to Sasha.

Thank you!
