Mom and I started making heart-shaped pillows together about 1 year ago. The pillow provides comfort under the armpit after breast cancer surgery and/or treatment. We attach a note wishing patients a speedy recovery and that they are being thought of during this difficult time. Our recent donation was at Stamford Hospital. Making these pillows are a great way to bring family and friends together. My kids help out as well.

We do this for many reasons, but primarily to give back to those fighting the disease and let them know they are cared about. We consider ourselves lucky and just want to help others. Every pillow is made with love and care. Mom is a lung cancer survivor and I am blessed to have her with me still. Why not help others while we still can.
