C.A.R.E.

C.A.R.E. is an all-embracing project dedicated to awareness as well as providing comfort to families and individuals affected with Craniosynostosis and other craniofacial anomalies.

Our motto, "We CARE to be AWARE!"

What We Do

Craniosynostosis and many other birth defects that affect the face and/or skull are often misunderstood, largely unknown, and sometimes misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. These conditions, many of which are birth defects that occur almost as frequently as heart defects & nuero-tube defects, can often present a lifetime of challenges for parents of, families of, and the individuals affected with facial or skull defects. C.A.R.E has been formed with the sole purpose of presenting individuals (ages 0 - 99) in need with an outpouring of love and concern from all over the globe. 

C.A.R.E. is also an advocate of awareness for Craniosynostosis, craniofacial birth defects such as Apert, Pfieffer, Crouzon, and many other syndromes that can cause a childhood filled with painful treatments, surgeries, therapies & many other challenges. We also strive for anti-bullying & youth outreach. 

With the help from You and others C.A.R.E.'s goals are to:

• Reach families and individuals in the need of cards, letters, and little-surprises.
• Work with schools, churches, and other youth programs to deliver hand-made cards to families dealing with surgeries or other challenges affecting their lives.
• Work together with many organizations to pay-it-forward on a daily basis.

Please be sure to Check back frequently to meet our CARE Kiddo's and help deliver CARE comfort. The needs of our families featured change monthly and sometimes weekly.

C.A.R.E. can be thought of as the Cranio Post Office. You have the option to mail families featured on our site a card or small gift (nothing larger than a manila envelope please) by mailing it to us.

CARE - c/o indivual's name                  PO BOX 1396                                       Bellevue, NE 68005-1396

Or you can request C.A.R.E. send a card on your behalf.

Our goal is to gather up stacks of cards and forward these special outpourings of love to our featured individuals. A featured individual's address will NEVER be shared with anyone other than those working for C.A.R.E. We do ask to share your photo and a little info about what you are facing so individuals sending cards to families know who and what they are sending the card(s) for.  

C.A.R.E. will also send a Worry-Wubbie© to any parent facing surgery. (Check out our Worry-Wubbie©  page for more info.)

Please contact us anytime! C.A.R.E. won't be a success without having families to send cards to. We Need yOU.

Be sure to let your friends know about us. We are always looking for you to send cards to our C.A.R.E. families. C.A.R.E. is always looking for volunteers who want to get together with schools, Sunday school classes, etc. to have children make homemade cards for any individual facing any hardship.
