I'm Kelsey
Hey there!
It's so nice to meet you!
I’m a mom, maker, and dreamer who believes that every child deserves to feel seen and celebrated. When I couldn’t find a doll that looked like my daughter — with purple eyes and pink hair — I made one myself. That single stitch of love turned into a mission to give comfort, representation, and joy to other children too.
From preemies in the NICU to kids with unique abilities and big dreams, The Cora & Lilly Doll Project is my heart poured into fabric and thread.
Thanks for being here. You’re part of something magical.

Featured Success Story
My family purchased a doll for a sweet family but specifically for a little girl named Juniper. She's 2 and was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma and has started her chemo. She got her doll today and LOVED IT! Thanks again Kelsey for this amazing doll you have created. This wouldn't have been possible without you.
