A community member asked for volunteers to participate in the Beads of Courage program in honor of a family member who is undergoing cancer treatment.
The mission of Beads of Courage, Inc. is to provide Arts-in-Medicine Programs for children coping with serious illness, their families and the clinicians who care for them. The bags are given to patients to store the beads that they receive throughout their treatment. Each bead signifies a moment of strength and courage.

She created charming kits containing the focus fabric for the outside of the bags, linings, labels to be stitched on the bag and ribbon. Along with written instructions which assured all the bags would be uniform in size. I spent 5 heartwarming hours creating 6 bags and look forward to contributing more stitching time in the future.
