These are pretty caps -- crocheted and knitted -- that have come in lately from volunteers. Aren't they attractive? They will be sent to people who have lost hair due to cancer.

Hello!
It's been a while since I've added a new post to this blog. I apologize but it's been a hectic month. Some of you know that my mom, Joan Brewer, suffered a stroke on April 30. Mom has been an active supporter of Stitches of Hope since our beginning in July 2008. She has supported us in every way from crocheting caps to writing thank you notes to people who donated caps to us to attending every meeting and most of all, for tagging each of the 4,000+ items we have donated to people in need (we pin a small tag to each item so recipients know who created the free items).
She has recovered somewhat from the stroke which affected her right side and is doing well in Rehab.
Thanks to those of you who knew about Mom's health and have called or sent cards. We appreciate it.
Tomorrow night will be my first SOH meeting w/o Mom. We always rode together in her SUV and always came home with a backseat full of donated caps, ready to send to people who have lost hair from cancer or other illness. It will be a tough time, but the dozen or so volunteers who will be there have become good friends and will help me through it. I'll give her a full report the next time I visit Mom.
Thanks for your support and help in taking up the slack w/ helping me, due to Mom's absence. With God's help we can continue.
Take care,
Kayleen Reusser
