We’re happy that Half-Pint Resale can not only help families purchase items they need at affordable prices, but that we can also support local charities who serve families and children in our community. The following charity is supported through the donations from consignors of unsold items.

Kindred Kids -  Kindred Kids is a free resource to families that have children with special needs. Kindred Kids provides a lending library, complete with toys, books, games, and therapy equipment, as well as wheelchairs and communication devices. For many kids with special needs, therapy is toys. But with family budgets stretched tight by decreasing insurance coverage and increasing cost,(or no insurance at all!) it can become a challenge to afford the things that a “special needs” child needs to grow and develop.

Kindred Kids is also a community resource and offers it’s amazing lending library to anyone in the community (that is you!), and offers playgroups, informational and support groups, and a place for parents to support each other.

Kindred Kids is located in Columbus, Wisconsin, and was started by a Half-Pint consignor, volunteer, and all–over supporter Wendy Simyab.  In 2011, Wendy won the Jefferson award through WKOW and BRAVA magazine. Learn more about Wendy’s inspiration to start Kindred Kids.
