Izzy Doll Making!!

The Izzy Doll initiative honours Master Corporal Mark ‘Izzy’ Isfeld, a Canadian peacekeeper killed in Croatia on 21 June, 1994. The project began when Mark’s mother, Carol Isfeld, crocheted small dolls for him to give to children affected by the war. After his death, his unit named the dolls ‘Izzy’ dolls and continued distributing them.

Over the years, volunteers across Canada and abroad have created nearly 2 million Izzy Dolls. These dolls have been distributed to 130 crisis zones worldwide, including Nepal, Haiti, Ukraine, Syria, and throughout Africa.

The goal now for our community is to get volunteers to make 500 Izzy Dolls!!
