Mission Statement
We believe in changing and enriching the lives of pediatric patients by providing them and their families with a sense of comfort in what may be the most difficult time of their lives.
About This Cause
The Care for Children Foundation was founded in the summer of 2013 by James Cory when he was 15 years old. The idea and mission behind it was to help kids feel just a little more at home as they receive the care they need. The amount of stress that these children endure during what could be considered the most trying times of their lives, can leave not just a lasting impact on those affected, but may even influence the success of their care as well. Operating across the state of Iowa, we believe in bringing care to wherever it is most needed. It is our fundamental belief that every child deserves the best care environment possible, no matter where they may be. Whether it’s a nationally ranked child healthcare program or a rural county health center, people receive extended care on all levels and we want to be there for them everywhere we can. We hold our beliefs and our mission dear because we see service as our responsibility. To do achieve this mission we raise money throughout the year and then reach out to hospitals and ask what they need to make a child’s stay better. It ranges from therapy items not typically in the hospitals regular budget to iPads, educational items, art supplies, NICU items, baby bouncers, motor skills items, blankets, to a wagon to take a child to surgery so it isn’t as scary. We like to see over 85% of the items to stay in the hospitals for future use. Our foundation is 100% volunteer.
