The Gift of Belonging

A Kenzi’s Kidz  Family Spotlight At Kenzi's Causes, we understand that beyond the material support, what families truly need is a sense of belonging and a supportive community. This month, we're honored to highlight the Quintana family, who have been apart of our Kenzi's Kidz program for three years. Through their journey, we've seen firsthand the profound impact of providing not just resources but also a network of care and belonging.

Xavier is an aspiring artist and video game enthusiast who brings boundless creativity and joy to his family. Together, they enjoy outdoor adventures and cherish their Sunday traditions of cooking, composing music, and spending time together. For the Quintana family, Kenzi's Kidz has been a lifeline during challenging times. Shantel shares, "The support from Kenzi's Kidz has helped a lot through tough times we might be facing throughout the year." Beyond just financial assistance, our program provides a sense of community and connection, reminding families that they are not alone in their struggles.

Kenzi's Causes

In 2007, Jessica Bachus started Dolls for Daughters®, after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. She created an annual holiday Toy Drive for Colorado children who would not otherwise have toys during the holidays. Today, Kenzi's Causes collects more than 100,000 toys, stocking stuffers, books, toothbrush/toothpaste kits, backpacks, lunch boxes and other items to change the lives of children in Colorado through our programs. At this annual event, families are also provided with community resources to help improve their lives and the lives of their children.
