Daughters of the Nile
Daughters of the Nile is a branch of The Shriners Organization. They meet once a month as a group of about 35 women. The Shriners Hospitals in Chicago, Erie, and Cincinnati send them lists of the items they need for the kids and they their best to either buy or make them.
Some of the things they make are pillows for after surgery, quilts, throws, wheelchair arm covers, and stuffed toys which are given to all the kids who are treated at the hospitals. They make thousands of items because as Cindy Kolpacke said “It is all about the kids.”
