Organizations we support: Rainbow Camp Ronald McDonald House (quilts or pillowcases) Habitat for Humanity Red Cross Women's shelter (Pillowcases or Stockings) Bags for St. Vincent's Homeless program Projects for Community Service Last summer we donated 85 quilts to Rainbow Camp, a special camp in Galveston for children who have cancers or chronic blood disorders and their siblings. It is a worthy cause. The children who attend camp have a chance to ride horses, swim, rope-climb, participate in arts and crafts, music and campfires - all the fun things that every kid should be able to have a chance to enjoy. It is a wonderful experience where kids can forget being sick and enjoy life without as many limits. This camp is a positive experience that helps young cancer patients grow into productive young adults. Would you be interested in trying to make a pillowcase and quilt for each of the children who will attend the camp in 2010? We would need to have these items ready before June 17. Thank you.
