How it all started....

It all started in a small town in Texas.  Three best friends had gotten sewing machines for Christmas and were ready to tackle the world...but how!?!? 

 

After the Christmas tree was taken down, outside lights put away, the girls began brainstorming how to put their new machines and sewing skills to good use.  Someone at church suggested they sew pillowcases and send to troops overseas.  Immediately, the girls knew this was exactly what they were looking for, however, because of personal experiences they would be sewing for children instead of troops.  

 

Gracie has been hospitalized at Medical City Children's Hospital and Children's Medical Center numerous times for Asthma and other respiratory related illnesses.  The first time  was for RSV when she was 5 months old. The most recent was just at a year ago which resulted in a week's stay in ICU. 

 

Genesis was involved in an accident when she was just 2 years old which left her hand  severely injured, with a prognosis of not being able to have use of it.  Because of a team of doctors and therapists at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, Genesis has full use of her hand.

 

Because of their past hospital experiences, Gracie and Genesis know the importance of "feeling like home" while being stuck in the hospital. Best friend, Emmie, has walked down the path with Gracie and been by her side numerous times.  These best friends have been inspired to create and donate fun pillowcases to comfort little ones admitted to the hospital. The pillowcases will be standard size and made from material only (no paint/glitter/glue/etc) and the patient will be encouraged to take it home when discharged.
