Therapeutic Heart Pillows
Your help is needed to send well wishes along with a handmade heart shaped pillow to patients recovering from cardiac or breast surgery.
The pillows bring comfort and cheer in the hospital room long after surgery.
They help ease pain and swelling and assist the patient in the recovery process.
We need people who can sew pillows from their homes as well as donate fabric and fiberfill. Fabrics should be soft to the touch and washable.
