Since deciding to auction off items for CappsKids I've had the pleasure of speaking with Amy, the organization's president. Amy's own son has had craniofacial surgery.
The mission of CAPPSkids is to spread awareness educate and offer support and guidance to families affected by Craniosynostosis and/or Positional Plagiocephaly. We use our funds for educational materials that will help both medical and non medical folks understand how important it is to recognize and treat these conditions.
The proceeds of the infant beanie and interchangeable hair bows will help Capps Kids purchase more educational materials.
99% of our families have never heard of these conditions and need support to help cope with a craniofacial surgery for their child. You can help these families, by placing a bid on the bubblegum hair bow featured below.
Craniofacial surgery is like no other. Our babies swell beyond recognition and their appearance is forever changed. It is scary, heart wrenching and a bit sad after months of looking and getting to know our child and knowing he/she will forever be changed.
The proceeds of the burpie and bib clip combination will help to pay for these surgeries.
CAPPS is here to hold the hand of each and every family that we come in contact. Our hope is that no family feels alone in their journey before, during or after.
I don't know personally know a family that has been affected by craniofacial surgery, but I do know that with our help, they'll feel our love and support.
If you would like to help support any of these families, please visit my facebook page at "Honey Pie Accessories". Place a bid on any of the items posted in the auction album. Not only can you bid on the photos above, but you can also bid on a custom tutu for halloween, in orange and purple shimmering tulle.
It's my hope, that we can raise as much money as possible to support CAPPSkids. I'm giving 100% of the proceeds from this auction directly to CAPPSkids, which is unlike any other charity auction I have seen before.
You can also help, by spreading the message in blog posts, emails, and on your own facebook page.
