The fact that dolls with the same disease are present offers children comfort and a sense of representation.

Patches of the skin lose their pigment as a result of the vitiligo disorder.

The discolored areas often get bigger with time. The sickness may have an effect on any area of skin on the body, as well as on the tongue and hair.

Melanin frequently regulates the color of skin and hair, and when melanin-producing cells are destroyed or stop functioning, vitiligo results. Vitiligo affects people of all skin tones, however those with dark complexion may notice it more.

Vitiligo affects one Brazilian grandfather. While an adult like him can deal with it, he was also considering the children who also have the same skin issue.
As it turned out, this grandfather is an accomplished crocheter who specializes in creating dolls. He came to the realization that his crocheting skills could benefit children who had Vitiligo.

He made the decision to crochet dolls with skin tones similar to those of vitiligo sufferers. And his works are receiving a variety of encouraging web reviews.
It is neither contagious nor life-threatening to have vitiligo. However, it could make you anxious or uncomfortable. He is mainly concerned about young vitiligo patients who think they have a health issue due of their appearance.

Stanganelli has more time now that he is semi-retired to crochet dolls to make kids feel better about their appearance. In their spare time, he and his wife would sit and crochet lovely dolls with patches.

The elderly man initially found crocheting difficult, but with time he grew accustomed to it.

The fact that Joo is crocheting for a good cause makes it even more addictive, he admits.

The old guy remarked, “Today, my fingers and back no longer hurt as much as they did at initially.” “I haven’t yet retired; I still work with food, albeit much less diligently. I currently spend 90% of my time playing with dolls. I have a lot of orders.

For his granddaughter Isabella, he created the very first doll. She now has a way to remember him thanks to him. She also began creating dolls with skin patches at this time.

Later, in order to depict children with impairments, he also made a doll in a wheelchair. The old man is happy that he can do this for young children as his new hobby serves a worthwhile cause.

When he posted about his work online via Facebook and Instagram, his paintings garnered a lot of love and respect.

The elderly guy stated, “My perspective on vitiligo appears to be extremely different from the conventional view; I think it is required first that you have vitiligo, and following this acceptance, you pick what you want to do.

What began as a straightforward hobby has evolved into something much more profound.
