Kasey's Krafts

Kasey Alexa Fox is a five year old, who loves to play, sing and spend time with family and church friends. On November 14, 2007, at age three, Kasey was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). Kasey completed her initial round of chemotherapy in June 2008, has relapsed twice and is currently on chemotherapy.

Even though she is dealing with her own disease, Kasey wanted to do something to help other brave kids undergoing chemotherapy for histiocytosis and pediatric cancers. Along with help from her mom and grandmother, Kasey decided to make craft kits for all the other kids in the pediatric oncology unit at Children's Hospital in Denver. To date, she and her grandma have made 1,650 of the kits that are now called "Kasey's Krafts."

Kasey’s Krafts is a foundation which now provides craft kits to pediatric oncology patients at Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado and has grown to support a variety of other facilities. They are used in the outpatient clinic as well as the inpatient area. Chemo kids spend a lot of time waiting, whether it is for infusion treatment or for lab results. These kits help them take their mind off the underlying reason they are at the hospital. The children love making projects and they have such a sense of accomplishment when they are finished. Their faces reflect the enjoyment with smiles.
