"So a lot of it's, it's kind of like fashion design. It's like, okay, which outfit's going to look good on this doll? I like to match the eye color, and that's the fun part is designing, picking out what's been given," Leah explained.

The whole process can take up to 10 hours, depending on the doll's condition, and Leah says each doll is prayed over. As for naming the dolls, she leaves that to the new owners.

"We actually give the girls a certificate. So, every certificate has a line, they can name their own doll, they can write in the eye color, the hair color, and then it has little rules about how to take care of the hair and the doll itself. So, we give each of them, we call a new birth certificate," she said.

Each doll comes with extra outfits, accessories like a hairbrush, a mini-Bible, and a story of how Jesus restores us.

"That's the message that we're sending them, just like your doll is broken and is restored through restoration and fixing up the toy, this is also a correlation to how Jesus Christ restores us as human beings," Leah said.

Since Joy Doll Hospital began six years ago, Leah estimates nearly 400 restored dolls have been given away, and she wants to expand in order to reach as many girls in crisis as possible. Their new trailer will help, by allowing them to take Joy Doll Hospital on the road.

"It's going to be the Joy Doll trailer, and we'll keep the dresses and stuff donated in there and it can be a mobile thing as well. We can take it to events and different things. We're very excited for that as well," she said.

Leah says her biggest and best surprise is seeing the joy, both from the girls receiving the dolls and those who give them.

"There was a 104-year-old woman and she sewed doll clothes, and I would visit her and she actually donated, she would sew a bunch of clothes and she would donate them to Joy Doll Hospital. And that was the surprising part, out of all of it, you never know who's going to come in with whatever story they've brought along in their life and add to the bigger story and the big picture of God's work in this," Leah said.

Joy Doll Hospital is always looking for donations and volunteers. If you have a used American Girl doll you'd like to donate or would like to host a doll drive in your area, go to joydollhospital.org for more information.
