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!

Inquiries: kdgrinfeld@gmail.com

Please email for mailing address to send cranes, and include a note with your NAME and RETURN ADDRESS to:

Kim's Crane

A number of people have asked where to buy origami paper. I have had great luck at Kim's Crane. They were closed for awhile but have re-opened. There is a link to the website on the bottom left of this page. If you type 1000 into the search field on their website, you will see they have a number of products where you can buy a box of 1000 sheets of paper in a variety of colors for about $9. These sheets may be small for beginners, but they are certainly a good price. They also have some interesting designer paper that is a bit more expensive. Personally, I like to work with the 70 mm (7 cm x 7 cm) which is about 2.75 inches size paper. You probably don't want to do any larger than 4/5 inches. Please feel free to post comments and questions!

Hi all,

Julie - this is a great idea! I am definitely signing up to help out. I just ordered a bunch of origami paper, which I am going to donate to the cause. Anyone who wants to help make cranes, please contact me to get paper. This will save individuals the hassle of ordering the paper online and making a committment to doing a lot of cranes at once.

Let's help bring people some good luck!
