When Cameron started experiencing major symptoms in his abdomen, his mom knew something wasn't right. After discovering that he had a ruptured appendix, Cameron was treated at Ochsner Hospital for Children to have his appendix removed. During recovery, Cameron bonded with one of his Child Life Therapists named Katie. When asked to design what he wanted Ochsner's first Buddy of the Year to be, he instantly knew who his inspiration would be. Cameron designed this doll to look like Katie, his amazing caregiver and newfound friend!

Proceeds from your Buddy of the Year purchase go directly toward Ochsner Hospital for Children to help kids like Cameron.
