I can't believe it has been two months since we last wrote in the blog. We have been so busy making caps and delivering them. We delivered 125 caps last week to Baylor and Texas Oncology in Plano. As usual they were so happy to get the caps. We were privileged to go to the Infusion center at Baylor Hospital to witness some of the patients going through our new caps. Jackie, the administrator, told us that it is the highlight of their day while getting chemo to look and choose a cap.
To date, we have made more than 2500 caps and it hasn't even been a year yet.
We have met so many wonderful people from this project. We have new knitters and crocheters and we are thrilled when they bring the caps to us. You can see the pride in their smiles when they give us the caps. Today, there were many caps brought into the center to us. Sure makes our hearts warm.
And the variety is really something. Everyone wants to make different caps and as long as they are made of soft yarn, we love them all. You couldn't find prettier caps in a department store. We have a lot of red, white and blue caps for the 4th of July. Those with cancer cannot be thought of as someone who must stop everything to let cancer take over their lives. They are just like everyone else, wanting to celebrate holidays, looking forward to happy times and not dwelling on their illnesses. And we feel so happy that we can help them in their efforts. Cancer affects everyone. We can't forget that!
