Order Courage the Lion Today!

Courage takes a spin on a custom tricycle made with extra support for children with special needs.

Your Gift Helps Some Very Special Children

Your tax-deductible gift of Courage goes directly to support Kindering Center.

When I was a little girl, I was afraid of everything!  I felt anxious around new people, the first day of school terrified me, and I thought the doctor would surely hurt me!  Every day was a challenge.

My mom gave me hope.  Understanding my fear, she gave me a stuffed lion and we named it Courage.  She told me to keep him with me when facing something that frightened me.  She promised that he would help me through anything...and it worked!  Courage has helped me face many challenges.  He helped when I broke my arm and helped me through the pain of my parents' divorce.  I even took him to college!  By my side, Courage has been through every major life experience I've faced.  I've given Courage to others to help them through rough times too.  Courage has accompanied my friends on airplanes, on interviews - it's even been tucked away on a first date!

Courage is now with a dear friend who is battling a brain tumor (and winning!).  At 31 years of age, he holds this tattered but loved lion close at every doctor's visit.

My little lion helped me find my Courage many years ago.  Now my fearless friend is doing the same for others.  I'm glad to share him with you.
