Hi, Thank you so much for your interest in the Emotional Support Jamie doll! ❤ Just a quick note: the doll isn’t suitable for small children due to the movable clothes and buttons, which could pose a choking hazard. However, if the doll were made without the clothes or small parts, it could be more appropriate for a child. Always best to consider the child’s age and ensure their safety! For donations...
