CAPES4KIDS OUR MISSION
Empowering children with the gift of a cape - for courage - for love, and
support -for whatever, whenever, however they need during illness.
Since 2014, we have distributed 80,375 capes to hospitals.
HOW IT ALL STARTED:
In 2014, a local Canberra Mum to two wonderful children started this charity. Like many families she had both her children in hospital for different reasons.
Capes 4 kids Australia Inc. is the first program of its kind in Australia, gifting superpowered capes to our little superheros.
We pride ourselves in being able to bring a smile to our young crusaders and helping them to embrace their inner strength, to fight the challenges that they and their families are facing.
Our carefully crafted capes will become available and are gifted to children in hospital so they can wear them whilst they undergo treatments or procedures.
The superpowers contained within our capes will enable our little heros to feel they have a protective barrier of superpowers to help them fight their illness.
DONATIONS and CAPE SPONSORSHIP: We need your help. Capes 4 Kids Australia Inc. have a bank account set up for donations if this is easier than sending material and other goods.
Upon request we can supply and issue receipts. We can also supply you with our ABN and ASIC number should you need them. SEAMSTRESSES NEEDED: Do you enjoy sewing, do you have a little bit of spare time, would you like to become one of our wonderful cape making treasures? Volunter sewing for a charity is a wonderful experience and sewing for us you know that you are making a sick child smile!
We supply capes to many hospitals around Australia and the list is growing as people see how much courage they give sick children. So we are always in need of more seamtresses, it's an easy pattern and you will have the knack of it in no time at all. WARNING: Cape making can become addictive!!!
