Today three of the six women from a weekly women's group at Good Samaritan University Specialty Center brought this beautiful hand-tied blanket the group made this winter. Elizabeth Giffin, the group leader, called and asked if the group could tour of the House and present the quilt. The quilt expressed the feelings and thoughts of these women, who can so identify with the emotions the parents and grandparents staying at the House feel. Some of the thoughts written on the quilt included: Invincible, Caring Hearts, To Hell with the Snow, We want to love and be loved, and a couple of drawings including a picture of gratitude.
At the House, the summer program for the children includes a volunteer project at Feed My Starving Children. The kids and parents love going there because it gives them a chance to "pay forward" the many things being done for them while staying at the House. It warmed our hearts to have Elizabeth's group bring this quilt that included so many months of hard work and love to the House today.
