As you can tell, the picture is the CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION FOR KEEPERSKORNER from the State of Missouri.

It came to us in our snail mail. What this simple document means is that KEEPERSKORNER is now a fully incorporated not for profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with MPD/DID and for abuse survivors, in general, who are dealing with the difficulties of working through the healing process.

As many of you know, our original intent was to establish and maintain THE EMILY ANN FOUNDATION as our means of helping other MPD’s have better lives than keepers have had. Well, as it turns out, the EAF became KEEPERSKORNER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION somewhere along the way. It is the exact same organization with the same original goals but with a whole new name. So, as a multiple or an abuse survivor looking for caring and support or even a listening ear--please remember the name KEEPERSKORNER as an organization that truly cares and is on your side as you journey through your own individual healing.

Establishing KEEPERSKORNER is a wonderful thing for keepers. Truly, it is our dream come true. On our lonely nights or when abreactions would hit us with great strength or when isolation and loneliness would overwhelm us--keepers would tell each other that no human being should have to endure so much pain and suffering. Over twenty years ago, keepers vowed that we would find a way to make it a little better for others suffering as we did for so long.

KEEPERSKORNER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION is good for each one of you, as well. Seeing through this entire process of getting fully registered and legal has been about each one of you. It has been about letting you know that we are serious in saying we care and we will go the distance in being a source of support and understanding for other multiples. Here at KEEPERSKORNER each one of you matters--each one of you has a voice that will be heard--each one of you is the reason we have set up our charitable organization.

 As many of you may also know we were not able to comply with the US IRS regulations to become a 501 ( C ) 3 charitable organization because their regulations and requirements would require us to ask very personal questions of those requesting our items offered including authentication that anyone requesting items is a multiple or an abuse survivor!! We prefer to make a judgment call and decide on our own who will receive what is requested without asking for a signed document from a therapist which we consider to be way beyond necessary.

Following is a list of benefits you are welcome to receive from KEEPERSKORNER whenever you may feel the need. All items below are offered to multiples and survivors at no cost to them.

Please be advised, these items are in limited quantities and availability is at the discretion of Keepers Korner.

1) KEEPERSKORNER toll free number (1-888-752-9070). If you live in the U.S., Canada or the Virgin Islands--please feel free to pick up the phone and call our toll free number any time you feel the need to just make contact with someone or have a listening ear to hear what you are thinking or when you need to know that you are not alone in this world. If you live in Ireland, Spain, UK, Italy or France please click here to contact us. Please send us your phone number and KEEPERSKORNER will call you. In these five countries, this is the best way to do it. Ireland, France, Spain, UK, Italy and other countries have unreasonable fees applied to toll free numbers. These are fees KEEPERSKORNER cannot afford to presently pay. For this reason, we ask that you send the number to us so that we avoid these fees simply by originating those calls here in the U.S.

2.) KEEPERSKORNER is also offering massagers that might help make your life more pleasant. Please click here to contact us with your request.

 Handheld massagers can ease tension away leading to a good night sleep.   

3) KEEPERSKORNER through the generosity of Mini-mes offers complimentary copies of these  books, which we have in stock right now and will be getting more soon. They are “Letting Go of Shame” , “Multiple Personality Disorder from the Inside Out”, “How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me” and “Mending Ourselves”. We found them quite helpful to us and some of our friends have read and recommend them which is why we are offering them.  Please click click here to contact us with your request or for more information on these free items.

4.) KEEPERSKORNER is offering our artwork as free gifts to anyone who finds value in a particular piece. Please click here to visit the Galleries at KEEPERSKORNER. Then use our CONTACT US TAB on the site to request the piece you would like to have. Each piece shipped will be an 11x14 matted and framed work of art that is ready for you to hang upon arrival at the address you give us.

5) We are very proud to offer these “Worry Stones” or “Grounding Stones”. No matter which you call them they are so very beneficial and we are offering one per request.  From left to right they are: Shamrock, Butterfly, Angel in Star, Angel.  Simply use our CONTACT US TAB to request one of these.

6.)  At the request of Jumpinginpuddles we now offer a Car Doll for little alters to take with them wherever they go, and we also offer an Activity Bag with crayons, paper and a small game and lastly is simply a carry all bag that Littleflute suggested so systems could put worry stones or small toys or whatever they had already but with nothing to store it in so the bag can be used to put your systems personal little treasures in and each of these can be requested via the Contact Us tab

7.) The generousity of our friend Marie enables us to offer the Murry CDs to our friends and visitors.  The Murry CD is full of Christian light and bubbly songs ideal for little alters.  To request a copy simply go to the Contact Us tab.

Please feel free to snail mail us at KEEPERSKORNER PO Box 514, Florissant Mo. 63032, we love hearing from each and every one of you.

Today--as we continue our journey as KEEPERSKORNER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION we want you to know that we hope you feel free to request whatever may help you from the above list. We, also, want you to know that both John and keepers are working diligently to expand our toll free number to include more countries and we are seeking more items to offer for free that may be of help to some or all of you. Please check back often to see what new things are happening here at KEEPERSKORNER.

peace and blessings,

Keepers and John
