<div>Kaleidoscope was born from years spent in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where I learned how to sit with families navigating life, death, and everything in between.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of those children was Sedona. I was her NICU nurse when she entered the world far too soon, and later supported her family as her in-home caregiver. Sedona’s life — and her unexpected passing at just 17 months old — called me into deeper work supporting families through pediatric end-of-life, transition, and grief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kaleidoscope now lives as a branch of the 501(3)c, Sedona Butterfly Effect, continuing her legacy by offering compassionate, community-rooted support to families during one of the most tender times of their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vision At Kaleidoscope
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We envision a world where every terminally ill child and their family are met with comfort, dignity, and unwavering support. We provide inclusive, community-rooted opportunities where children and their loved ones feel emotionally, spiritually, and logistically nurtured, even in life’s most difficult moments. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mission at Kaleidoscope 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kaleidoscope is a non-profit initiative that works in collaboration with Doulas, healthcare teams, therapeutic providers, and community partners, to: 
</div>
<div>- Educate: Bring visibility, guidance, and understanding to the pediatric end-of-life journey. 
</div>
<div>- Connect: Build a network of trained “Partners in Community” who work together to deliver integrative, non-medical care. 
</div>
<div>- Support: Provide equitable access to child- and family-centered services that honor each family’s values and needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why we're fundraising:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our initial fundraising goal will allow us to take our first, very real steps into service by:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funding our bank account and covering website design and other startup costs,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Providing direct, non-medical support to a family navigating a pediatric end-of-life journey,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Covering care materials, coordination, and presence during critical moments,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And by working individually with families to find and fill any gaps within their current care team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This first milestone helps us build momentum toward our larger goal: fully funding care for families at an estimated $15,000 per family, and growing our circle of support beyond our initial service area of Los Angeles County.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How you can help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A gift that’s meaningful to you — no matter the size — helps bring Kaleidoscope to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation supports compassionate, dignified care for families walking through pediatric end-of-life, and helps transform grief into connection, presence, and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, Sedona Butterfly Effect (501(c)(3), Tax ID: 92-3036633).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel called, please share this fundraiser with your communities. Together, we can turn grief’s broken glass into a kaleidoscope — where every offering becomes a fragment of light and love.
