Our Inspiration, Carter!
Carter's Cupcakes was inspired by our baby Carter who was born in 2011 and is not only profoundly deaf but also has Cerebral Palsy. Each week , for years, he attends numerous specialists appointments and amazes us with his strength and perseverance...but what is even more amazing is how he constantly has a huge smile on his face all while he is enduring these exhausting and often challenging appointments.
Carter is now 9 years old and we still do not know what to expect with regards to his future abilities. The past 9 years has been an incredible eye opener for our family - no one ever expects nor can prepare themselves for something like this and that is why we have registered Carter with Easter Seals. Special needs organizations like Easter Seals are non profit and are the ONLY organizations that have programs and services for young children like Carter that provide unconditional love and acceptance as well as support to families living in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada.
So why should you order from us? Besides being truly delicious! It is the mission of Carter's Cupcakes to raise funds for local children's charities. This means that a portion of profits earned (25%) will be directly donated to organizations that are helping thousands of families and children in this province! Each time someone buys even just one cupcake they are helping a special needs family...probably in their own community!
As a parent it is extremely difficult watching your child suffer thru anything, most times we are able to "kiss the boo boos" and "make it all better", in our case that will never work...it is the most helpless feeling in the world.
This is why Carter's Cupcakes means so much to us...we know we are doing something meaningful and worthwhile that will help not only our child but so many others like him.
Thank you to everyone who also supported our Reason for the Rink fundraiser. From 2012-2017 more than $300,000 was raised for Easter Seals, Cerebral Palsy Assn. NL, Mazol Shriners and Rainbow Riders!
As well as our 2015 Janeway auction which raised more than $2000.00 for sick children across this province.
Your family may not fall into the 3% of families in this country that have special needs children like ours but I HOPE you can see the critical need that these organizations provide to children across our province. There are strength in numbers and with a little bit from everyone we can make a HUGE contribution! Thank You!
