Hello all, If any of you no of a child or teen suffering with cancer let me know. The group I belong to will crochet comfort shawls for the girls and moms as well as afghans for both boys and girls.

We donate to St. Jude in Memphis TN and UC Davis Pediatric
infusion center in Sacramento CA.

But we will not turn any child away that is in need of some smiles and comfort.:heart

So please feel free to email me or post to this board:knit

Sounds like a great idea, but fortunately I don't know anyone to fit this!

Hi there!

Your group might be interested in this drive that I have going right now...my group has donated tons of stuff to St. Jude in the past (including more than 300 books as part of a book and blanket drive in 2003!) and I know they are a great place to send things.

Right now we're working on this: Passport to Imagination (http://www.psf.homestead.com/passport.html)it's to benefit kids at UMC Arizona specifically oncology/transplant ward. Check it out and if your group would like to send some stuff, send me an email and I will tell you the address to send to!

big hugs
Ro

If you want to reach a very special child, check out the thread "My nephew has cancer" or the link in my siggy "Boxes for Brendan" you might want to send something his way!

keep up the great work!
