| Our mission | To provide warmth, comfort and support to children who have chronic or critical illnesses and their families. Cape Ivy provides fleece ponchos to children in the hospital because robes, sweaters and jackets don’t work well with IV lines and other medical equipment. Cape Ivy is a resource for families experiencing long-term hospitalization of children. |

Cape Ivy
| About us | As a parent of a child who spent years in and out of hospitals before he lost his 12 year battle to a rare form of CVID (Common Variable Immune Deficiency), Meg Smith knows how difficult it can be for patients to stay warm while hooked up to IV and PICC lines. Robes, sweaters and jackets don’t work with the lines. She came up with a solution when her son, Gavin was 6. She created fun fleece poncho capes for him to slip over his head. He was cozy in bed and no more cold walks down hospital corridors. In Gavin’s honor, she and her friend Cindy have started Cape Ivy to provide as many capes as possible to children who courageously fight for their health in and out of hospitals. |
