Fight Cancer with KareKards!
KareKards 8th Annual Fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation
in Memory of my Grandma.
My grandma played a huge role in helping me grow my hobby into a business. When KareKards began in 2009, every evening she would help me fold cards and hand tied bows from rolls of ribbon. It was our bonding time, a time that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
In 2010, she was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. It was devastating to watch her battle cancer. During her battle, she still helped me with KareKards. She loved helping me so it gave her something to look forward to every day and it made her feel useful.
I brought boxes of cardstock and rolls of ribbon to the hospital and she would fold the cards and hand tied bows for me. I remember thinking that I would never be able to use up all the cards and bows but I didn't have the heart to tell her to stop helping me.
Yet eight years since she's passed and her folded cards have been completely used up and only one box of bows remain that I hold onto for keepsake. The more I grow the business, the more I miss her and wish she was still here.
How lucky am I to have such precious memories that overpower the terrible memories of her battle with cancer.

Please note that KareKards will be happy to customize the card with an occasion/sentiment of your choice.
My BC Cancer KareKards design always have a touch of red as it was my grandma’s favorite color. My grandma is my inspiration to continue making cards and this is one small way I can honour her memory and help in the battle against cancer. Your donation is much appreciated. Thank you for your support.
