Dress A Girl

Picture
Dress a Girl Sedona is a donation-based organization that sews simple dresses to be distributed to needy girls worldwide to contribute to their sense of worth and dignity as well as to signal to would-be traffickers that the girl is under the care of an organization that knows her and would know if she went missing.
