MISSION & HISTORY
BuKoo's Waddle was originally founded in 2009 as a non-profit 501 c3 organization called the Create More Karma Foundation (CMK). The goal of the organization was to assist individuals and/or groups facing challenging situations who were in need of a Karmic Boost to enhance their environment.
In 2025, CMK re-branded to form BuKoo's Waddle, maintaining the same goal of assisting individuals or groups in need.
Bukoo's Waddle is an organization that provides life-affirming experiences to individuals/families facing a difficult environment, such as the critical diagnosis of a loved one, loss of family or the hardships of foster care. We believe in the transformative power of travel and experiences to help people remember to live in the moment, embrace the positive and not let challenges steal their joy.

RESILIENCE
We believe people are resilient and capable of overcoming significant challenges. We encourage individuals/families to embrace their strength and resilience as they navigate their journey.
HOPE
We believe that even in the harshest of conditions, there is always hope. We strive to provide individuals/families with an experience that will give them hope for the future and help them to foster a belief that anything is possible.
jOY
We believe joy is always present, even amid challenging life circumstances. We strive to create an environment where individuals/families can experience joy and laughter and cherish the memories they are making together.

Our Process
Nominations for assistance are submitted by family members, friends, companies, case workers, teachers and sometimes a caring stranger. We take the time to listen to the challenges surrounding the nominee in order to identify how we can best help their situation. Our team then takes that information and works with the nominator to bring about a positive change or experience.
