One of my problems is that I tend to be-friend my customers at work. They become almost like friends to me and I learn about their lives, family, children and so on. Since most of them come in at least once every 2 weeks I see them all the time and many of them really have become friends. Of course that means I feel like they are family when tragedy strikes them.
One of my nicest customers came in the morning in tears. His sister went in this weekend for emergency brain surgery. They found a rather large and aggressive tumor in her brain and operated immediately. She's 71 years old does have some other health problems so they don't even know if she's going to make it. If she does, there will be a long road ahead for her and he's not handling this well at all.
I would really like to make a nice comfortghan for him and his family and when she gets out of ICU he can give it to her. I would like to have this finished and ready to give to him by Sept 29th. If you can contribute in any way, I would be greatful.
I am requesting any 12 inch squares made in ANY colors, but please use Caron Simply Soft and make sure the squares measure 12 inches (other wise it takes a lot longer to join and such.)
Also, if anyone would like to contribute any yarn I am planning on making a nice little gift basket for her in the coming months as she will need chemo and other treatment. I could use Fun Fur, Microspun, Boucle, Homespun and any other nice soft yarn so that I can make her some chemo caps, slippers and maybe a shawl to use while she recovers. (If instead you'd like to actually donate an item instead of yarn, that would be great too!)
Thanks a bunch!
