Since 2013, Rosenberger and her small paid staff have sent more than 12，000 handmade capes to kids in all 50 states and 15 other countries.The capes come in pink, blue, purple, or red and can be decorated with the child's initials (姓名的首字母) or specialized 　patches　， including a heart, a rocket, or a lightning bolt.One receiver was eight­month­old Gabe, who was born with a cleft palate (腭裂) and Coffin­Siris syndrome, which cause distinct (截然不同的) facial features.Rosenberger sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center.It was a hit.Gabe is now a fixture on the company's social media posts.“The TinySuperhero community has been a wonderful connection to have，” says Gabe's morn, Kate Glocke.“In fact, two years later, we still bring Gabe's cape with us to every hospital appointment.” 1．Why did Rosenberger send Brenna a cape?
