Kare Kits
Thoughtfully assembled kits designed to bring comfort, joy, and moments of peace to those navigating mental health challenges.
What is a Kare Kit?
A Kare Kit is more than a kit. It represents calmness, joy, and serenity. Each one is thoughtfully put together to be delivered to adolescents, both female and male, in eating disorder residential facilities.
What's Inside a Kit?
Journals
When in doubt, write it out! Journals help with processing struggles, hardships, successes, and happy times.
Slime/Therapy Dough
Fidget toys are a great resource. We've partnered with Pinch Me Therapy Dough, so kits will include one of their products or slime!
Plushie
A small, unique stuffed animal that each individual can keep for comfort and a sense of familiarity during their stay.
Blanket Throw
A colorful blanket adds a sense of warmth and coziness in a place away from home, making the space feel more personal.
Diamond Art
A calming, creative craft where you place tiny resin "diamonds" onto a coded canvas to create a sparkling mosaic-like image.
About Ellie
My name is Ellie, and I am a high school junior. My project works with the most deadly, overlooked, and stigmatized mental illness: eating disorders. Affecting roughly 22% of adolescents, they can stem from a mix of influences, making early detection difficult. Residential programs provide 24/7 care, but the journey can feel isolating. That’s why I believe a thoughtfully curated care kit can offer comfort, grounding, and a small sense of normalcy to those facing a personal battle.
