The Cozipal Project: A Touch of Magic for Children in Need
The Cozipal Project is a beacon of hope for children who have endured the challenges of trauma. This endeavour extends support to diverse groups of children, encompassing those impacted by domestic violence, severe illness, war, and child abuse in foster care. Going beyond the provision of physical comfort, The Cozipal Project is a heartfelt initiative intricately crafted to instill a deep sense of support, understanding, and a touch of magic in children who have confronted various forms of trauma.
A Symbol of Comfort and Understanding
“The Cozipal” is the heart of our project, a meticulously crafted wrist-worn sensory toy designed for comforting children who have experienced trauma. It has no eyes so it doesn’t care what you look like. It has ears to hear your worries but no mouth to share your secrets (but if you have a big worry, you need to tell a grownup). It fits on your wrist and it lives on hugs and snuggles.
Tailored Support for Different Age Groups
For our younger recipients, The Cozipal comes in a special pack with a children’s picture book titled “Minksy the Meltdown Pixie Helps Tommy,” an activity booklet designed by teachers and psychologists to help the child think about ways to use their new sensory toy to aid emotional regulation, a ‘Thinking of You’ card signed by Our Pixie Friends, and another small activity booklet. Sponsors can add a personalised message. Priced at $45, these packs bring a little joy to struggling children in our communities.
Catering to older kids and teens, The Cozipal Project introduces the “Super Soft Sensorian,” a discreet sensory fidget tucked in a pocket or hidden up a sleeve. The Sensorian pack includes a mini ‘Thinking of You’ card with instructions, and sponsors can add a personalised message at no extra cost. Priced at $15, these packs offer a subtle yet impactful tool for older children, teens (and even adults!)
Sponsorship: Make a Positive Impact by Sprinkling Pixie Magic in Our Community
The Cozipal Project nurtures a noble ambition to create a culture of kindness and distribute over 1,000 packs to children in need, and it relies on sponsorships to achieve this heartfelt goal. Since March 2023, over 500 packs have already been distributed, showcasing the tangible impact of our community’s support. Sponsoring a pack empowers individuals to make a direct and positive impact on a child’s life, contributing to spreading joy and magic through the community. Even one dollar will go towards making packs. We were privileged to see a child who had received a pack, buy another Cozipal for himself to have at his Dad’s house, and give the change to help another child of trauma. Even little ones are learning to spread the magic.
