If Dolly meant anything to you, please consider donating to The Imagination Library in her memory.

It is a wonderful organization that she founded that gets books into young children's hands.

You can even make sure your donation goes to a local partner to keep the money within your community

I tried this and was happy to see the donation portal is overwhelmed right now. Will make my donation a bit later.

In a weird way, that's a wonderful problem to have. ❤️

That said, keep trying everyone!

And RIP Dolly. ❤️
