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!

Thank you Stacey's Classes!

This story has touched me because I learned how to make cranes when I was in fifth grade. We had read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, and the Korean students in my class taught the rest of us how to make them. We folded a thousand and hung them proudly in our class. I remember really enjoying all the colors and the relaxation of folding. I also remember being very touched by the story of Sadako, one of tragedy, but also of hope, courage, and peace.
These cranes came in a HUGE box from three of Stacey's fifth grade classes. For all the students out there who helped to make these cranes, Thank You! They are going to someone very sick and in need of all the hope and love you've poured out into them. Thank you as well to Stacey for organizing all of this. It's no small feat. Heartful wishes to all, Julie

This was such a fun project! The kids were so happy to know that these cranes were going to help someone's wish come true and bring them good luck. Thanks Julie for the time, energy and love you have poured into Cranes for Cancer! What a wonderful organization!
