New Volunteers

This year, my 12- and 13-year-old daughters were able to join Quilts the Care with their 4-H group. I was familiar with Quilts that Care as several of my closest relatives had been treated at the Lever Center, and I had seen several of their quilts gifted to chemo patients.
 I was very excited for my daughters to be able to take part in such a worthwhile project. It was very impactful to hear of all of the facilities that Quilts that Care donates to, but even more so when a volunteer mentioned Connecticut Children's Medical Center.  On our way home that day, I explained to them that not only would the quilts that they worked on be given to a cancer patient, but, may be given to a child.
It is so inspiring to see the children grow in their sewing skills while creating amazing, colorful, fun quilt blocks, knowing that one day, the quilts they create will wrap around a child who might just need that little bit of warmth and love.
