I hate to admit that when I was younger, I had a not-so-charitable view of life. Like a majority of religious conservatives, I believed events and circumstances happened for some inconceivable but divine reason.
I was also convinced American health care was
vastly superior and as an industry was motivated by improving health.
I was a bit naïve or really stupid. You pick the term.
Three stories about kids, limits and
heroes.
Robyn started making superhero capes for the little
kids in her family. She also followed a blog about a little girl who had an
unusual skin disease and she decided to send her and her brothers
superhero capes.
It was a hit and Robyn quit her job to start TinySuperheroes.

TinySuperheroes
is a tiny cape company with a SUPER BIG mission to empower Extraordinary kids
who exemplify strength and determination as they overcome illness or
disability.
When you buy a cape for a special kid in your life, we'll donate a second cape to a kid with TinySuperhero powers!
Second Hero:
Kylie, a fifth grade girl who had survived a rare childhood cancer, was given a school assignment to create something to solve an everyday problem.
She worked with her parents and health care providers to make a portable IV system. The backpack uses a protection structure for the IV bag so it won't puncture and includes controls to set flow rate.

"When
I had chemo, I had to pull around the big IV pack, so I came up with this
backpack." "I would have loved this thing for myself."
