Thank you for your interest in helping us! Our mission is to teach individuals, businesses and communities on how to be more sustainable, and be prepared and ready when an incident happens. Our vision is to help 30 million people in communities around North America . We are going to do that starting with protecting our kids with our first initiative Kits4Kids.

Here's why is Kits4Kids© SO IMPORTANT!

According to the UNICEF's 2023 report, Humanitarian Action for Children: "The climate crisis is a child's rights crisis. Climate change is the top driver of humanitarian need and human suffering. These consequences are already being felt by millions of children worldwide."

Here in the US in 2023, 1 in 4 homes were either destroyed or damaged, in addition to being considered too high a risk to be insured. There were also 3.3 million people displaced from their homes, and 99% of US counties experience flooding. Tornadoes go from Florida to California and from the Canadian border to the gulf. When disasters strike is is difficult and stressful on adults as they are trying to rebuild, but it has a far greater impact on kids. In addition, kids are now dealing with school shootings, bullying, social media and the pressures of everyday school.

These are some staggering statistics:

That is what Kits4Kids is all about. Not only are we providing a level of protection for kids but kids want to be involved in educating their communities on what can be done. Let's face it, kids are the best salespeople on the planet.

Our safety and disaster Kits4Kids© get velcroed to the bottom of their everyday backpack that goes to school, the playground and activities. It includes a location tracker, stop-the-bleed bandages, and other safety items. When a disaster strikes the kit comes out of the everyday backpack and into their emergency kit supplying 35-40% of what goes into the emergency kit. Each Kits4Kids© costs $25.00 with discounts for bulk orders.

We are launching the initiative with our Kits4Kids Spokesperson campaign in local communities. Kids will submit a 1-minute video about why they want to be the kid spokesperson in their community. Our community partners will vote on a boy and girl to be the Kits4Kids Ambassadors. Now we have an army of kids that want to be involved. We will work with our community partners and the kids to educate the community on how to be more sustainable, better prepared, and resilient. We are providing an element of protection for the kids, giving the parents peace of mind and an avenue to change communities. A WIN! WIN! WIN!

In addition to our the kits for kids, we have training and other things that will help our efforts to educate and support communities. Other go-kits that will be made a available in the future for pets, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Coni's book number #1 bestselling book: "When the Unthinkable Happens... Be Prepared! Be Ready! is in its third edition, It is a reference guide for families, businesses and communities. It is an ideal marketing book and can be branded. There is also a children's book in the works to go along with the Kits4Kids and training that can be offered in communities or to organizations.
