Superman Sam’s Survival Kit
baskets tailored to meet the needs of caregivers and children with tracheostomy tubes
we serve by…
curating specialty items
Each item has been chosen by someone who uses these tools for their child every day.
equipping caregivers
Kits equip caregivers for a smoother transition from hospital to home with their child so they aren’t scrambling to find what they need.
encouraging families
This kit says, “We know this is a difficult journey, and you are not alone.”
what’s inside
These kits are designed to aid the daily needs of those caring for children with life-saving breathing tubes. Inside there are items that help keep germs away, store medical supplies, and give comfort.
g-tube pads
These pads help prevent the g-tube site from getting irritated, providing comfort for your little superhero.
an Elmo like me
To help children and parents normalize a not-normal situation, we send Elmo with his own trach tube, giving children a beloved character they can relate to.
hand sanitizer
Being germ-free is crucial to trach cares, so we include these handy bottles in every kit.
neck pillow
Having a child with a trach can mean the hospital is a familiar place, so we send a neck pillow to help parents sleep during those long nights.
bandana bibs
These bibs are great for staying clean and keeping germs away from the trach site.
stop sign
Some people don’t realize that germs are an extra big deal for medically fragile kiddos. Hang this sign on your stroller or car seat to help people think twice before touching without permission.
tops fit for a superhero
These size-specific tops recognize kiddos for the superheroes they are. While the t-shirts help spark confidence in children, the side-snap onesies provide easy access when caring for medically fragile babies.
mesh bags
These bags are great for dirty g-tube pads. When it’s time to clean, the whole bag can go into the washer and drier without a second thought.
hanging organizers
Helping caregivers make the most of small spaces, these are handy for organizing the multitude of medical supplies while keeping everything easy to access.

testimonial
“In the midst of the most difficult time in our lives, when we learned our newborn son had incredibly complex medical conditions, the Trach basket we received was a sign of hope. Hope that we were not alone, that someone knew what we were going through and hope that we could move forward to give our son the best care he could get from home. The basket made the transition home less overwhelming. Our son recently re-discovered the Elmo doll and said “he has a trach, like me!” We are so grateful for the hope these baskets are bringing to families like ours.”
