Sewing for a Purpose

For six years this group has met once a month to sew pillowcases. Why? They are part of a group with over 120 chapters worldwide called Ryan’s Case for Smiles. It is a volunteer organization solely dedicated to helping sick children cope with the stress of their illnesses and injuries.

Once completed, the pillowcases are taken to a drop-off site and the organization delivers them to hospitals. Children can choose their own playful pillowcases. This simple thing reminds them they are not defined by their illness.
