Doll like little girl
The gift of a new toy is met with enthusiasm by most children, but for one Texas girl, a doll that looks just like her triggered tears of joy. Courtney Fletcher Bennett gave her daughter Emma a new American Girl doll that was custom fitted with a prosthetic right leg, just like hers. In a video posted to Facebook Wednesday, Emma, whose last name was not disclosed, is presented the box by her little sister and told to read the enclosed letter. Emma lifts a flap covering the doll's legs, sees the pink prosthetic leg, flips the cover back down and gasps in surprise. "You gotta be kidding me!" she says before taking the doll out of the box and hugging it closely, tears streaming down her face.
Little girl receives a doll with a prosthetic leg like hers, cries tears of joy
A 10-year-old girl named Emma from Cypress, Texas, was recently surprised with the doll of her dreams, thanks to her parents and a company called A Step Ahead Prosthetics. The American Girl Doll was outfitted with a prosthetic leg, just like the one Emma has. Emma's mother, Courtney Fletcher Bennett, posted a clip of the doll's unboxing to Facebook, which has since received over 7 million views at the time of writing since being uploaded Wednesday. Emma had no clue the doll was fitted with a prosthetic leg until she read the letter inside the box. But when she did find out she was overcome with joy.
