Port Pillow Pals

“We have approximately 10 people who are quilters and sewers who meet to make Port Pillows. We’ve been meeting as needed for about a year. We make port pillows for people going through chemotherapy and have dialysis ports. The small pillow cushions the port area from the seatbelt. Each pillow has a small flap of fabric that velcro’s Around the seat belt. The patients absolutely love them because they are not only useful, but we make them in many colors and interest themes. We made approximately 300 port pillows since last June.

I personally have been in healthcare for 40 years, and the last 30 were in breast cancer specifically. But over the last 8 months, we have received such positive feedback and joy from the recipients.” shared Mary Kay Verhoff.
