St Joseph Burn Center shares story, photos of Stitches of Hope recipients










Hi!

These are photos of some of the recipients of our caps: Kacy (mother), Hannah (girl), Riley (baby). They received Stitches of Hope caps through St Joseph Burn Center in Ft Wayne IN. Tragically, they were involved in a house fire explosion more than a year ago. The result was deep burns with scattered permanent loss of hair.

This is a truly sad event, but they are receiving great help at this renowned medical facility (http://www.stjoehospital.com/).

Still, my heart aches for them. I can't imagine how devastating this prognosis would be to this small family—2 of them babies!

I could go on, but I think the photos say it all. Several of our volunteers have said how much it helps their frustration when they can make a little difference in the lives of hurting people by making and giving away soft, clean, well-made caps.

If you’d like more information about how to help people like Kacy and her girls by making free crocheted and knitted and stitched caps and turbans as part of Stitches of Hope, please let me know. We’re always looking for volunteers.

Take care,
Kayleen Reusser
