Chloe Newman has been receiving prosthetic services at Shiners Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts, for her entire life. She was born with a missing limb and has had multiple prosthesis fittings at Shriners. After finding out that Mattel is making a Barbie with a prosthetic leg, Chloe asked for donations of the doll, Barbie Fashionistas #121, on Facebook. Her post quickly went viral, and caught the attention of Mattel.
