I just spoke with the Outreach administrator for UC Davis' Cancer Center and they are happy to accept our pillowcases! They are ready anytime we can get them to them. They are looking forward to using them in their infusion rooms, but will also hand them out to patients as we wish! We would really like them to be able to go home with them as well but the infusion room is a great start! It should cheer up the chemo rooms in no time!!! We can also talk to the Oncology floor about using them for their rooms!
So I guess we are just about ready to begin, we will start small scale by word of mouth until we can get the non-profit status. If anyone would like to donate monies toward fabrics and thread, and/or would like to sew the cases (we have the pattern) we would appreciate any and all help! Please email us at casesforcheer@gmail.com .
A young girl's quest to bring cheer to cancer patients one at a time by creating vibrant homemade pillow cases to take with them to chemo treatments and hospital stays, in honor of our Aunt Willie Garrett.
We would love to help!!! My mom would love to make some also! Jayna and I would most likely donate monies and my mom could do the sewing!
