From Jackie Ryan, Ambulatory Care Nurse Manager: “The pillows help comfort our children during lab draws and immunizations. The pillows also bring smiles when we give the pillows to families as a token of appreciation for choosing us as their health care providers. When the children take the pillows and hold them close, it just warms our heart. We really appreciate them and so do our families.”
From Daphna Williams, LVN, Healthcare for the Homeless: ” I just want you and the donor sewing group to know what a delight the beautiful pillows are to the women and children here at the Star of Hope Cornerstone facility. Actually the ladies enjoy the pillows more than the children. I call the pillows ‘the loving hearts.’ The gifts are greatly appreciated by all who receive them. The pillows put smiles on the faces and brighten up their living spaces.”
