This week I received a wonderful phone call from one of the medical facilities that receives our Stitches of Hope caps. It was the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center in Hartford, CT. Their rep said, “I just wanted to thank the volunteers of Stitches of Hope for continuing to send caps for our patients. They are a hit here as I’m sure they are each place they are sent. Please thank all of the talented stitchers. I hope you will continue to send caps to us.”
That is a truly appreciated call. We don't go to the effort of making and sending the crocheted, knitted, sewn caps for accolades, but it is good to know people are finding the caps useful and helpful in raising spirits. We never send anything out but the best and what we would want our own loved ones to wear.
The Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center was recommended to our group from a friend of mine who received treatment there. We’re always on the lookout for new facilities that could use our free Stitches of Hope caps. The caps are handmade and individual in design. We make them for men, women, and children. They are well-made and often prayed over as many of us go to church and think about the caps’ future recipients while we are stitching.
If you are a cancer patient in need of a cap, please let us know the name of your facility and we’ll get in touch with them to see if we can arrange a distribution through them. We may be able to send you a cap in the meantime. Here is our email address: stitchesofhope@gmail.com.
If you’ve received one of our caps, we would love to receive a photo of you wearing the cap. With your permission we’ll paste it here to show others how nice it can be to have a cap to wear.
I’ve just completed another cap for a man as our latest order from California is asking for 25 caps for men. Most of our volunteers prefer to make caps for ladies or children, so I tend to fill in the gap for men. Admittedly, some men don't mind the bald look, but at least they could wear it to bed and keep their head warm. I never thought about how hard it is to keep warm without hair.
We’re all learning a lot through our involvement with Stitches of Hope. We look forward to helping as many people as we can in the future. Stitches of Hope is in God’s hands.
