Blessing Boxes

Blessing Boxes We fill boxes of toys, etc for children in the USA 2-18 with long-term illness or injury based on the child's interests. We are not accepting new sign ups.

We fill boxes of toys for children ages 2-18 with long-term illness or injury based on the child's interests. If your child is signed up to receive a box already, it can sometimes take a while to get a box as we run on donations, but we try our best. We also ask for people to sponsor boxes to try and help boxes to get filled. We mark kiddos as urgent if they're due to have surgery soon, have cance

r (any type), or we're told that they're in the "end stage" for whatever they may be battling. Any physical donations (toys, games, etc) can be sent to 924 Bonsel St NE Navarre, OH 44662. Monetary donations are always very helpful as we run solely on a small monthly donation from one person every month (which we appreciate greatly!). Monetary donations can be sent via PayPal, cashapp, venmo, or check/money order. For an address and name for check/money orders, please message the page. We are not a 501(c) organization, we are young people trying to make a difference. The founder of Blessing Boxes is Sara. She found out about a young girl named Karrie Dodez who had been diagnosed with cancer. She wanted to send a box to Karrie filled with goodies, but Karrie sadly passed away before she was able to. Therefore, Blessing Boxes are sent out in memory of Karrie, to all children with chronic illnesses or injuries. Sara sadly is no longer actively involved with Blessing Boxes as she's fighting dx of her own. Admin Alexis is currently in charge of all donations, & admin Rachel is in charge of monetary donations.

We apologize that we do not often post anymore — we do hope to get Blessing Boxes back up and running, but we do not have an ETA at this time.

Admin Rachel here (but pictured is Admin Lexie back in 2014). One of the first kiddos I ever helped make a blessing box, and visited, passed away tonight. He was 15 years old. Please send prayers and good vibes to his family. He leaves behind his parents, some grandparents, and two younger siblings. We also met his sister on this day, and she was his biggest fan.

Yesterday was Karrie’s 21st birthday. Our organization was created in her memory. Her family and friends collected shoes and socks and donated them to Akron Children’s, where Karrie was treated for her Neuroblastoma, to honor her on her birthday.

Also, I know we haven’t been very active lately, I’m hoping to be able to change that soonish. - Admin Rachel

The National Down Syndrome Society helped Mattel with the construction, design and marketing of the doll, which is intended to destigmatize the genetic disorder. https://fxn.ws/44egGcy

I am traveling out west for the first time since 2019 to film SBSK interviews. While there, I want to meet as many people in our community as humanly possible. If you would like to be interviewed on SBSK and live out west, email me at [email protected] with a paragraph or two about your story. Please include your city and state in the subject of the message to make it easy to organize. So far, my stops include Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California and Colorado. I also left some room for spontaneity. Oh yeah this trip starts next week too! I will respond to as many people as possible. I look forward to continuing this great adventure and making more friends across the country.

Wednesday, November 16th, is World Sanfilippo Awareness Day.

My sweet Haidyn, is 7, with Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A.

Sanfilippo syndrome is a rapidly, degenerative brain and body disease in children - with no cure or treatment options available.

World Sanfilippo Awareness Day is about spreading awareness and sparking conversations globally about Sanfilippo Syndrome, a disease few have heard of.

This special day of Awareness is in honor of Haidyn and other children around the world living with Sanfilippo Syndrome today, and those who have passed away. It also honors the families of these precious children.

Will you help us raise awareness for our sweet Haidyn?

You can wear purple or unicorns (we even love rainbows), share this post or donate to the Cure Sanfilippo Foundation towards research for treatment options and a cure.

You can change your profile picture to this one if you’d like. We are so thankful for our community and how loved our sweet girl is. Thank you for loving Haidyn & us.

💜🦋🦄🌈

Thank you, Chelsea, for your donation!
