Kinder Chaos

Kinderchaos was created five years ago by Tom Krowas as part of a medical school charity project. Tom and Mariha Krowas youngest son was stricken with an illness at the tiny age of two weeks old resulting in a lengthy stay at Children’s Mercy Hospital. The care and devotion of this hospital to children has made such an impact on the lives of the children and their families. While our child’s illness was minor and he recovered quickly due to the hospital’s excellent care...most patients are required to have very lengthy stays. Children’s Mercy does its best to provide an environment for the kids to remain happy and be kids regardless of the horrible things they are dealing with. a large portion of funding comes from donations. Among these features is Children’s Mercy’s Ronald McDonald Family Room. This is a hotel-like setting providing parents with a bed to sleep in so they do not have to be away from their sick child. It also provides showers, a recreation room, meals and a private room for the parents to sleep, cry, pray etc. There is nothing worse than having to leave the hospital and go home empty handed leaving your sick child in a hospital. The room lets you be near them as they recover. The Ronald McDonald room is also ran only on donations. This will be the fifth year of Kinderchaos..we are small but we are mighty! The yearly donation is always appreciated with open arms by the hospital. While the hospital proper has been graced with an increasing amount of large donations, we have decided that the Ronald McDonald Family Room portion of the hospital will receive fifty percent of the Kinderchaos funds raised. Brand new changes this year..it has also been decided that the remaining fifty percent of the money raised will be donated to an organization called B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse). This is a wonderful and respected organization that does wonderful things for the lives of children. I will add more details of B.A.C.A soon! Many thanks to everyone who has supported Kinderchaos over the past five years...the venues, the crowd, the raffle donations, bandshirts.com, and of course all of the bands that play for us. Also new this year..this will be the first year that Kinderchaos will be an all ages show! I hope to see a lot of young faces appreciating the music this year :)
