Child collecting 1,000 Barbie dolls for homeless girls her age
(ABC) — More than 700 Barbie dolls currently fill the room of 9-year-old Gianni Graham’s home in Norfolk, Virginia.
“There are barbies everywhere, it’s like we’re living in Barbie-land!” Gianni’s mother Whitney Graham told ABC News today. “But Gianni has no plans to open or play with the Barbies.”
The 9-year-old is actually on a mission to collect 1,000 new Barbie dolls for 1,000 homeless girls her age, her mother explained.
“Girls in shelters deserve the same things we have,” Gianni told ABC News today. She said she was inspired to start her project “1K Barbies for 1K Girls” a few days after Christmas.
