QDoxs supports Happy Hats for Kids in Hospitals

Happy Hats for Kids in Hospitals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Torrance, CA. Our founder, Sheri Waldstein, designs our unique Happy Hero Hats and holiday-themed hats. The organization has produced and donated over 1.2 million creative Happy Hats to children with cancer, COVID-19, and other critical illnesses.

The experience for hospitalized children fighting cancer, COVID-19 and other critical illnesses can be scary and lonely.  Our purpose is to bring smiles back to their precious faces while helping to lessen their anxieties and fears.

The hats bring immediate smiles and joy to the precious faces of these young patients and their families at a most vulnerable time.

The purpose of the book is to help calm the children and their family’s fears by explaining basic hospital procedures in a gentle and humorous manner.  A literacy component is added to help strengthen reading skills in English/Spanish.

QDoxs & Reforestation in California

Every page our clients print is offset by planting trees across the globe and in our home state of California.

This U.S. project is based in Mendocino, California and the purpose is complex fire restoration.

The area was cleared of standing dead and sold as salvage logging to offset costs of restoration. Herbicide was applied invasive vegetation and emerging shrubs in an effort to halt type conversion and increase seedling survivability. Additional weed treatment will be provided to ensure the survival of established seedlings.

Trees will be planted by crews using hoedads along moderate to steep terrain. The trees will be planted at 560 seedlings per hectare (225 seedlings per acre). This maintains a fifteen by fifteen foot separation. The pre and post treatments indicate a greater long-term survival.

Trees will be planted along the contouring topography and in areas where the remains of previous vegetation offer additional protection (micro-shading).
