May we someday hear the words "well done" because others have felt His touch and love through our hands and feet and know they are important and special to Him.

July 2012 Delivery Totals

We have had an amazing month giving us a wonderful delivery for the CVICU at ACH.  These shirts and blankets meet all the needs for these precious babies.  What a blessing for everyone involved to meet this need!

Over this last month the leadership kids of Lifesource International have been working hard at making a difference with us.  They have cut out over 100 shirts and more than 40 hats!  This has been done in just an hour of time each Monday morning.  These kids are amazing and work hard when we are together.  On their own they have found additional fun fabrics and cut out other shirts!  And, because of their work we are meeting the needs of the little ones and blessing their families.

This past week we delivered quite a few items.  Included in the delivery were shirts in red, white, and blue so the babies could look perfect on the 4th of July!  We will have additional items to deliver later this month after our work meeting this Saturday.  The beautiful cottons and flannels that have been found and donated give us beautiful items to sew.  Pretty shirts and colorful receiving blankets.  The receiving blankets are used as "sheets" under the babies so they have a colorful and warm bed to lay upon.  It is amazing what a difference it makes to walk in the room and see the little one on a colorful bed.  It changes the entire atmosphere.  "Wow" doesn't give enough to explain what it means for the families in such difficult circumstances.  "Thank you" doesn't say enough for all of you that contribute to this difference.  May you be as blessed as you have blessed!!!

We delivered the following this past week:
20 receiving blankets
28 shirts
30 hats
4  fleece blankets

THANK YOU!!!
If you would like to work on things during the month as you have a few moments, please let us know.  We will get the information/supplies to you right away!  Everyone can make a difference and every bit of impact adds up to AMAZING!  If you prefer to simply give, we will always use fabric donations.  Fleece and flannel are the most needed.  It takes 1 yard of flannel to make a receiving blanket that will fit the CVICU bed.  It takes 1 yard of 60" wide fleece to make 2 blankets.  We make them a little smaller so they are easier to work with in the little beds.  We can cut out about 8 shirts from a yard of cotton and about 8 hats from soft stretchy knits.  And, we even save the scraps!  They are donated to a group that uses them to make beds for an animal shelter!  Nothing you give will be wasted!
