Buddy of the Month
Down Syndrome Buddy
Hi, I’m the Down Syndrome Buddy! Just like your child, I’m special in that I have an extra chromosome and I’m here to offer a positive opportunity to communicate to others that we’re still just like them. Healthcare professionals use me to dispel misconceptions about Down Syndrome and instill confidence through education and medical play therapy.
With my sweet smile and huggable softness, I’m great for your child to have and to hold. I’m a Down Syndrome doll and friend for your child to love and take comfort in.
Physician Buddy
I am one of the five newest members to the Shadow Buddies family and part of the Courageous Crew. My job is to help others who are being treated in hospitals and doctors’ offices. I can help treat you if you’ve had an injury or sick with an illness. Being a Physician / Nurse Buddy, all you need to do is come and see me and I will help you feel so much better.
Buddy is dressed like a Doctor/Nurse in Surgical Scrubs, Mask, and Cap
Buddy has a medical emblem on his right chest on their scrubs.
