A Journey Blessed by God, Driven by Love

Katelyn's Krusade is a non-profit organization founded in 2013, inspired by our daughter, Katelyn, who God blessed us with on October 4, 2012. Katelyn was born with Spina Bifida and the complications that come along with it. This has been a tough journey so far… Our hearts break for what she has to go through, but this has also opened our hearts to a whole new world.

We have been blessed with the opportunity to meet so many wonderful special needs children and their families. They don't take anything for granted and thank God for every minute that they get to spend with their amazing children.

Our Purpose and Journey

Our mission is to enable safe and developmental play dedicated to children with special needs and their families. The 1st phase of this is to build an adapted toy lending library. 

We moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 2017. At this time, there is not a physical location for the Adapted Toy Library. However, we are able to provide Adapted Toys and in some cases, Adapted Power Wheels cars. For more information, send us a message using the contact form.
