Port Pillow Project

A couple months ago Amanda Rosen came up with an idea to make Port Pillows after some friends of hers said that the seat belt was hurting them when they were in the car driving to and from treatment centers. They told her that they would stick the seat belt behind their back so that it would not rub them. Her goal was to find a safer way. So with the help of the community she was able to get supplies donated and people to donate their time to sew pillows! They donated over 1,600 pillows so far and have made over 3,000 total. She has delivered pillows to 25 local cancer institutes in North Carolina. Amanda just wanted to help people and she rather make something tangible than give money.

    I too, would like to have the pattern for the port pillows. I am a cancer patient and would like to provide this comfort pillow to those patients that have chemo where I go.
