Service League, Union Hospital

In 2003 a group of ladies saw the need to bring some comfort to pediatric patients at their local medical facilities. As volunteer members of the Service League of Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana they designed and created a special Puppy Pillow hoping it would answer that need. Since then for thirteen years, 10-15 ladies gather almost every week to cut the material; sew the pieces together; stuff and final stitch the completed pillow. Not only do they share their unique talents but they also enjoy some fun and fellowship at the same time. In recent years, they have also added a selection of Bunny pillows for Easter. These pillows are then provided to young patients in the Surgery Center, emergency room and or the pediatric unit. They are then able to hug, cuddle and perhaps find a little comfort with one of these pillows. They do whatever it takes to bring a smile to young patients faces, especially in a time when it is needed most.
