Our impact

The coverage above reports what the organization does. The figures behind it are set out on the impact page: more than 100 chapters across more than 20 countries, 39 partner hospitals receiving handmade cards for patients in treatment, and over $150,000 raised for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome research.

The 2025 Qualitative Impact Report covers the year in full, including where the money went. Our programs describes the work itself — the detailing events, the card drives, the hospital deliveries — and our story covers how a car wash in a driveway turned into this. If you want to be part of it, you can volunteer, start a chapter or support the research.
