A Special Anniversary for Rescuer Jen & Madeliene

This Christmas marked the 29th anniversary of the day Rescuer Jen and Madeliene were first introduced. Madeliene has been with Jen everyday since then and has become one of the most important things in Jen's life. Madeliene is a very special CPK and is the reason CPK Rescuers all came about...
Happy Anniversary Rescuer Jen & Madeliene!!

Where we have been & a REALLY awesome nomination!!

HI ALL!!!!
It's been a while, huh?  We have been SO busy with life, work and family the passed few months!  As most of you know, Peter's mom, Rita, has terminal bone cancer.  ALL of our free time is spent with her.  If you haven't read her story, click HERE to get to know her and her wonderful husband, Graham.

Rita's health has been good, but not great.  We know what we have to expect, and are SO blessed to be able to spend as much time as we can with her and Graham.  It's times like this that make us thankful for family AND our CPKs - because they sure have been giving so and getting some good love lately!

We haven't stopped CPK Rescuers, it's just slowed down a bit!  We have had about 100 donations from several amazing people around the US, and are SO appreciative of it!  Most of them, you haven't even seen on the blog, because we want to get the Kids that have been with us for a while, into good, loving homes, first!  We are at the point where we can't even accept donations right now, because we have SO many!

Kids are still going out, and finding GREAT homes!  In fact, we are in talks with a friend that helps with orphans in Haiti, and some very special children there will be receiving CPKs from CPK Rescuers!

Jen has started a business and blog for couponing and deals (www.thebinderladies.com)  and blogs ALL day, so it's hard to change back and forth to CPK Rescuers!  But, now that she's gotten into the swing of things, she will make more time for CPK Rescuers, too.

Tonight, we got this INCREDIBLE email, where someone (Helen Mullins) nominated Jen for Yahoo's Women Who Shine:
How incredibly flattering, sweet and thoughtful!  Thank you SO much, Helen!  Jen is sincerely touched!

We will definitely be trying to keep up with the blog and Facebook more often!  Thank you ALL for your continued love and support!  Keep on hugging your CPKs, and letting us of people that you know that could use some CPK lovin'!!

XOXOXOXO,
Jen & Peter

Important Message From Rescuer Peter!

Hi Everyone!  It's Rescuer Peter from CPK Headquarters.  We've had an amazing year and are so thankful for the contributions and interest in our organization!  

I wanted to say a short note on CPK re-adoption: 
Our cause is to appeal to people in NEED of CPK love.  Not collectors, and not people that just want them because they are free.  Our organization has re-adopted to people like:  a 5 year old girl with Leukemia, a 9 year old being bullied in school, a 15 year old seeking comfort for the loss of her father, a 30 year old diagnosed with multiple illnesses, a 60 year old with depression and a 73 year old with terminal cancer, as well as many other wonderful people that have contacted us and maintain a great friendship with us. 

We also have an ongoing relationship with a women's shelter and an orphanage in Guatemala.

So, as you can see, CPK Rescuers is an organization that targets people in special situations that seek the comfort and love that only a CPK can give them.  We are so appreciative of the wonderful people we stay in contact with that re-adopt and donate!  I just want to re-iterate that this organization is not for collectors to enhance their collections and not for people that just want to take advantage of a free Cabbage Patch Kid.  

Thanks again to EVERYONE for their support and interest!  Here's to another wonderful year of CPK Love!!!!

Clover And Her New Home!

Little 2 year old Luccianna re-adopted Clover in June, after carefully perusing the Headquarters crib.  She checked out each CPK in the crib, and decided on Clover....and now Clover gets more hugs than she could have imagined!  Happy stories like this is why CPK Rescuers is a success!


This CPK Needs A Name!

We are delighted when we receive a new donation!  Rescuers Jen and Peter were at a garage sale, and were handed this little blonde-haired, blue-eyed cutie, after explaining how CPK Rescuers works.  Not only does she now need a new home....she needs a name!

When CPKs are brought to Headquarters, they aren't just given random names. Each name is picked specifically for each Kid, after careful inspection and an interview.  :)  We decide on each name as it "fits" each CPK.

Now, fellow, CPK Lovers...it's your turn to help pick a name!


This little princess needs a name!  What do you think it should be?  To suggest her new name, you can:

We are so excited to hear your suggestions, and even more excited to find out where this sweet little girl's new home will be in the future!

Rescuer Peter's Story

          Hey there fellow CPK lovers. I'm Rescuer Peter. I wanted to take a minute to tell you my story about Bennet (my CPK )....  As you know from Rescuer Jen's Story about her CPK, Madeliene's Story . Jen and I started CPK Rescuers because of Madeliene and the love that she has given Jen for the last 29 years . I've grown so fond of Madeliene over the last couple years and thought this might be something  I would be interested in (a CPK of my own).


         While visiting a fund raiser/flea market in Bellingham, looking to rescue some CPK's we found 3 beautiful CPK's. Two girls and a boy. I instantly found myself quite attached to the boy CPK (Bennet). 


        I had never, in a million years, ever think I would have a "doll" !!! But this was different. Bennet gives great hugs and is always there for me when I'm having a difficult day. It only seemed right that I, as a Rescuer, have a CPK of my own. I just never, ever thought that he would mean as much as he does to me.


       Bennet has been a welcome addition to my life. He is my best friend, and never argues or talks back.... he just loves me unconditionally as I do him. Rescuer Jen and myself have since found homes for several of the CPK's at Headquarters to close family members, including my Mom who has terminal bone cancer and can always use hugs and cuddles . Please check out her story; Rita's Story


                                                         Mom with her CPK Nuller


       Since Mom's re-adoption of Nuller, we have also re-adopted CPK's to my Dad and 2 daughters as well as many many friends. They really do have special healing powers and give awesome hugs.


    
                                                 My daughter, Krystal with her CPK Liesl


                                                      Rescuer Peter with Bennet


                       So you see, it's not that strange for a grown man to have a CPK :)

Donate to Win Vintage CPK Items!

CPK Rescuers is funded SOLEY by donations from generous individuals, and its Rescuers.  Money donated is used to cover the shipping costs, when a re-adopter cannot afford them.  We definitely try our hardest to help out when we can!  We hold raffles like these to try to generate funds to put in our  "Shipping Waiver" account, so that re-adopters that are struggling financially, can get a break.

Please help us to find homes for the CPKs at Headquarters, by donating to CPK Rescuers!
We are approaching our 100 Rescues of CPKs, with more being rescued every day!  So far, 51 CPKs have been re-adopted and sent out to loving homes and brought smiles to the faces of their re-adopters!  

Rescuer Anntoinette in Texas, generously donated these 3 vintage items to be raffled off!  Here's what you can win:

(1) Vintage CPK cake pan from 1984 
(2) First Edition Posable CPKs in their original boxes from 1984
How can you win these?  It's simple!  
1) Donate!  For every donation you make (no minimum - any help is very much appreciated!), you'll receive an entry!






2) Share the link to this post:  http://cpkrescuers.blogspot.com/2012/05/donate-to-win-vintage-cpk-items.html
On Facebook, Google+ and/or Twitter
For every share, you'll receive another entry!  After you've shared the link, just email us HERE and let us know where you shared it!

Every little bit counts, especially since USPS Flat Rate Box prices have gone up this year.  To send one CPK to a loving new home, it costs about $11.  This raffle will continue for 1 month, so that you can rack up the raffle entries! :)  It will end on Saturday, June 30, 2012 and the winner will be announced here on the blog and on our Facebook Page!

THANK YOU for your donations and support of CPK Rescuers!!!  And a HUGE thank you to Rescuer Anntoinette for giving these items!
