“There’s nothing more I love than walking into a child’s colorful hospital room. It brightened my day to see bursts of color, patterns of polka dots, stripes and hearts and to see that it gave the child a more positive outlook on fighting their illness.” ~ Pediatric oncology nurse at LPCH

 

“I’d like to think that finding a cure for pediatric cancer is our most important mission but I know that children will still be diagnosed with cancer today. And these children still need hope, support, and love through their journey.  When we would bring Gabriella to the hospital for her long chemo treatments, I would always make sure to pack a couple of colorful pillow cases and blankets that were given to us along the way. The first thing I’d do when setting G’s bed up was to adorn it with those special items and brighten up her room. It did so much more than change a dreary bed. It lifted our spirits.” ~ Kristin Cosner, Founder and CEO

Are you ready to make a positive difference in the life of a child being treated for cancer? Dust off that sewing machine, pick out some fun fabric at the store and start sewing! Sew and donate a pillow case so we can send them off in our next Hope Tote shipment! We would love to adorn the cancer fighting children’s rooms with hand-made beautiful pillow cases. Team G is asking for home made pillow cases to add to our Hope Totes. It’s just a little something that does so much more than put a smile on the face of a child fighting cancer. We’re also looking for a few good items to add to our Hope Totes!
