“The quilts have made such an impact (on the staff) that they are not alone in caring. There is someone else out there who cares with them and in a sense, then, carries part of the load.”
— Mary Reid, Marion Education Services District (receives quilts for visually impaired children)

 

“Thank you so very much. I have no words to properly express my gratitude and appreciation. For comforting my little guy during such a terrifying time, I owe you everything.”
