It’s HOLIDAY SEASON and we won’t be able to accept cranes until January. Thanks!

There is an old Japanese tradition that 1,000 origami paper cranes will bring good luck, including good health. Our goal is to provide boxes of 1,000 cranes to cancer patients and anyone with serious physical or mental health needs. The 1,000 cranes bring hope and uplift spirits. We've been doing this for many years, but we need help in making cranes.

AND...if you know of a person who would benefit from receiving a GIFT of 1,000 origami paper cranes, please send an e-mail with a name and mailing address, and we will send your dear friend or family member 1,000 paper cranes of hope and healing.

DONATE: There is no charge or any fees, although we now accept donations through PayPal or Zelle at kdgrinfeld@gmail.com. Thank You!

To bring smiles and hope...

Mandy from Fort Collins, Colorado learned to love making cranes from her artist friend, Jen, who is currently fighting cancer.  After a group of friends created 1,000 cranes for Jen, Mandy continued folding, and sent us these 1,000 amazing, 4 inch cranes which she folded herself and are a perfect size for our gift boxes. Thank you SO much Mandy, and for your financial contribution to help bring smiles and hope to those in need.
