Cranes for Cancer: Cranes for Health
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!The Legend of the 1000 Paper Cranes

Sharing hope...
With love and hope, Sean’s wife Joanne and their daughters made 1,000 cranes for his cancer journey, placing strings of cranes above his hospice bed at home. And now, they are sending these cranes forward with hope, support and friendship. We are so sorry for their loss, and are thankful for their kindness in thinking of others.

Dedication...
Although the students may change year to year, we are grateful for the dedication of the teachers at Langley High School in McLean, Virginia who continue to have their students participate in our project. This huge, amazing donation, filled with solid color, print, and iridescent papers, marks the 6th year students have folded cranes, and we thank them so much and we thank their teacher too!
