Thank you family & friends- you've made it possible for us to make and deliver 220 blankets to cancer patients. Read below to see what some incredible cancer patients are saying about the blankets we've made....
"Hello Marissa and Friends! My name
is Lynne and my husband Michael has a rare 'one in a million' blood cancer that
is in 75% of his bone marrow. This week, we received a blanket from you.
It literally brought tears to our eyes. We just want you to know that your hard
work and love is felt all the way to Canada. You sure made a difference to us.
Your generosity and kindness is overwhelmingly beautiful. We received the
blanket in the mail, and it was like CHRISTMAS. Michael just completed his 8th
round of chemo, and he had that blanket on him in about 5 seconds flat. LOL!
Thank you soooooo much for sending. You are a beautiful soul and we are
so very grateful." -Lynne &
Michael
"The blankets arrived today in Milwaukee
and they are beautiful. Thank you so much. I have already started to give them
to my patients who are so touched by your kindness and generosity. Thank you
again for making my patient's lives a little bit better. Thank you
Marissa and God bless." -Dr. Mike Bishop,
Hemotologist & Oncologist, Milwaukee, WI
"My 10 year old son was
the recipient of the blue & lime green blanket that was made at your
synagogue! We saw you in the picture and all of the young folks working
on it and it brought a smile to my son's face. Receiving this blanket
opened the door to talking about his chemo treatments. We are all so
scared about his upcoming treatments and the future, but are feeling so blessed
to be supported by so many wonderful members of the community!" -Mom of a 10 year son w/ cancer
"The chemo blanket that you made for me is absolutely
beautiful and looks and feels like professionals have done it! Every time I
have chemo, I bring it with me. Words cannot express how grateful I am to
you. Not only is my chemo blanket
gorgeous, but it is soooooo warm and it is all I need to keep me cozy during
treatment." -Debbie
“ Thank you very much for making these
blankets. I was a recipient of one of
the beautiful blankets today at the Cooper Group Infusion Center in NJ. They rolled in a BIG cart full of blankets
and I chose the zebra stripe and pink one.
It was such a blessing! Your
kindness and thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and the other cancer
patients. Thank you!” –Kelly
“This blanket is really beautiful! I have been
getting chemotherapy for 14 months and still have more to go. As much as your blanket will warm my body,
more importantly it has warmed my heart.
Thank you for your love and support as I continue to fight against this
terrible disease.” -Dara
"Ordinary people doing extraordinary deeds… that's how I describe Marissa & her 'Get Cozy During Chemo' project" -Patty, Founder of Layers of Love, who distributes many of the blankets we've made directly to cancer patients
