The closest one needing help
With your help we were able to help children in the Navajo Indian reservation. 
We donated clothing, baby formula and toys worth 100% of our first month's profits.
The Navajo reservation is in the Four Corners Area (AZ, CO, NM & UT). There lives over 250,000 native Americans, some with incomes of 200 dollars a month per a family. With the help of Robert Collins from the Wind River non-profit organization we were able to help children of the reservation.
Nowadays they are so many charity organizations that it is overwhelming to choose whom to help. Do you ever feel that how ever much you do, there are still so many people needing help? You don't need to have Angelina Jolie's check book or Mother Theresa's devotion to save the world - you can help the closest one needing help. One person at the time.
We at Skimbaco wanted to make it easy for you to make a difference. Yes, we all love fashion, and dressing up our children is our passion - that's why we wanted to make sure that shopping at Skimbaco will make you feel extra good, knowing that you will be part of our philanthropic mission. Moms are great at multi-tasking, right? Now you can shop and give back to the community at the same time - as easy as a few clicks!

Meet the designer: DeAnna Cochran
Skimbaco is proud to offer DeAnna Cochran Jewelry for you.
The designer DeAnna Cochran started her company, Tiny Angel Designs, in 2004 as the result of a personal loss. Her son Jackson, born 4 months premature, spent 3 weeks in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) before his passing. She was touched by those who have chosen life-time careers of assisting others during times of illness or loss. True to her spirit of always finding the good in every situation she wanted to "make a difference". Today DeAnna Cochran donates a generous portion of their profits to local and national children's organizations, and DeAnna is making a diffrence in so many ways. We love her designs not just for their exceptional beauty, but for all the charity work she does.

Every Child deserves the best
One of the simple ideas behind Skimbaco is that every child deserves the best.
What really is QUALITY in children's clothing? What if by purchasing products we could make the quality of life better?
What if the product brought other kind of quality as well? What if by buying certain products you could support keeping jobs in the US, or help children in Bahrain to learn to read? Or get care for pre-mature babies in Texas or provide quality of life for a whole community in Asia?
Skimbaco is proud to do business with companies, which have high moral values and contribute to charities all over the world.
Skimbaco teamed up with Tea Collection to sponsor The Global Fund for Children. GFC is a non-profit program that supports education for children around the world. By purchasing a GFC tee, you can help support this cause, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the Global Fund for Children.
