If you shop at Cincinnati area Kroger stores, you can help support Kairo’s Kids at no additional cost to you. Simply select Kairo’s Kids as your preferred organization under Kroger Community Rewards for your Kroger Plus card and a portion of all your purchases will be donated to our organization each quarter. These funds go directly toward shipping costs and supplies needed to send adapted toys to children in need.

Check out all these toys and batteries that were donated thanks to Leslie Stormes and her company who collected toys on behalf of Kairo’s Kids as part of Subaru Loves the Earth. 🌍 ❤️ So excited to see how many lives we can change by adapting these. To contribute toward the shipping fund visit kidslikekairo.org or $KairosKids.

This week, two of the three accessible play packages we sent out went to therapists who were looking to make play more accessible and engaging for their clients. When you support Kairo’s Kids, you support accessibile play across all settings. This means supporting the teachers and therapists who work with our kids. Help support our mission at kidslikekairo.org or $KairosKids

Here’s a look back at our 2025 in review. Thanks to your support, the number of acessible play packages we were able to send grew by more than 150% from 2024. We were also able to sponsor 3.5x the amount of adaptive switches! Looking forward to seeing how we can work together to make play accessible in 2026.
