We're looking for volunteers to sew heart-shaped pillows for the Newly Diagnosed Kits we provide to Virginians facing breast cancer. These handmade pillows help protect surgical incisions, cushion seat belts, and remind patients they're not alone.


It's a great way to use your fabric scraps while making a meaningful difference in someone's recovery.
