💜WE NEED YOU!!💜 In just a few weeks our little Cali will be admitted to the Hospital of Sick Children, in Toronto, for an unknown amount of time. Instead of focusing on the stress of this time, our family is choosing to focus on our purpose. And we want to get as many Totes as we can to families in need at Sick Kids!!

We cannot pack Totes for the families, without more actual Tote Bags. We use VERY specific bags for a number of reasons (I will share about that soon). Being the best tote on the market comes at a price, & they do not go on sale very often.😪 BUUUUT..... 👏🏼😳👏🏼 They are coming on sale on Monday. 🎉🎉🎉🎉These totes are regularly $42.00+, but they are on sale for just $23.99+. God willing, we would like to purchase as many totes as we can, this coming Monday, because it's only a FLASH sale! I will cover the taxes, shipping & personalization. We just NEED your support to help us buy as many as we can.

Every family that donates $25.00 or more, will have a completed tote gifted to a family, in 💗your family's honour. 💗 If cash donations is not an option, please scroll down our page to find the list of items require to pack into the totes. 💗💗We truly appreciate every penny, bar of soap, pen, notebook...... Especially prayers!! Cali Cares is just a pipe dream without every single one of you!💗💗

Night one of our first grouping of Cali Care's Totes are almost done! Still have a few items to add in the morning & then it's off to deliver these to families facing a very tough journey.

When I return , we will need to raise funds for the next 6 totes bags. I know this is going to really touch families this weekend, so from the very bottom of ALL of our hearts, THANK YOU!! These came together because a COMMUNITY cared. Thank you a MILLION times over!! Please know this is only round one. We will never stop needing donations of items & funds. We are SO excited to do this again for Sick Kids. ❤️❤️❤️

Hello & Happy Summer from all of us at Cali Cares Canada. The past few months have been extremely busy for all of personally & more importantly for CCC!!! We have some AWESOME news and announcements to share with you all. ❤️

#1-Project Care💜........

Cali Cares is committed to assisting, supporting and bridging the gaps in services for Canadian families, who have children with medical complexities. As we have been doing for the last year, we provide donated medical supplies to families in need, across the country. But we have teamed up with Hope's Totes from the U.S.A; & this fall we are launching our Care Bags!

What is a Care Bag....
Care Bags are hospital "Survival Kits" for parents when coping with an emergency extended hospital stay with their ill child. This is setting up to be a very big project and we will be sharing more about it VERY soon!! So Stay tuned!

#2-Charity Status!

We, at Cali Cares, take our mission VERY seriously and have some very big plans that will take lots of support and assistance from our donors. So we are in the process of applying for charitable status, so that we can write tax receipts for all monetary donations. We simply cannot function without our amazing donors, and truly believe that we could never thank our generous supporters enough!! But we hope that this step will help us spread our gratitude. And allow us to seek larger donations... Hopefully some corporate sponsorships too! More info to follow, but please to contact us if you have any questions or are interested in donating!

#3-Spread the word!!!!! We want to reach out to every corner of our beautiful country and help as many families as we can! PLEASE help us with our mission and share our page, invite friends & Family and spread the word among those in your circles. We are so very grateful for all the love, prays, support and kindness we have receive this past years & cannot wait to see what our next year holds!!

Blessings & Health,

~Cali Care Canada~

"Cali Cares" has been quite the buzz word lately. This is because Cali has been supported by our local community! They heard of some needs Cali has, that are not within my budget. But North Bay and area has risen above and is making sure she gets her needs met. Thanks to this community & supporters around the world, we will be announcing some VERY HUGE & exciting news that is going to change this foundation and all of our lives! Make sure you stay close so that we can share with you as soon as we can! 😊❤️
