Charity Projects
Thimbles and Friends Quilt Guild members are making baby, child and lap quilts for the South Shore Hospital Home Care Division. They are a non-profit organization with the goal to benefit the people of our region by promoting good health, and by healing, caring and comforting. They include a Visiting Nurse Association, Hospice Care, and Home and Health Resources serving 28 towns in Southeastern Massachusetts. They serve approximately 1500 people at any given time.
Some of the people that benefit from their services are:
Some of the people that benefit from their services are:
- Newborns and their mothers who are at high risk due to low income or other circumstances. A quilt we donate may be the only special item received by the mother and child, sick babies and children who are recovering at home. Many of who have very little or nothing. Sometimes an unhealthy baby who does not have long to live will spend their last days at home and the parents like to have something special to remember the baby by, such as a handmade quilt.
- Frail elders who are sick or in hospice care who are at poverty level and have a limited income. Many cannot afford enough heat in the winter and would benefit from lap quilts.
- People who have life-changing illnesses or life-limiting diseases.
