On Friday, January 11, 2008,
COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS BREAST CANCER OUTREACH volunteers
participated in a moving outreach, literally.
Sissy Blanchard, breast cancer survivor and owner of Sissy Made It! (www.sissymadeit.com)
donated a queen size bed, mattresses, ottoman, coffee table and desk to
COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS for one of our clients/friends Kelly.
Kelly is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer
and is the mother of five children, ages 16, 10, 9, 5 and 2. Kelly's
oldest daughter needed bedroom furniture, so this was a very timely
donation for the family.
With the help of two volunteers' spouses and two of Kelly's neighbors
for heavy lifting, three of our volunteers delivered the furniture to
Kelly and her family. Thanks to United Church of the Nazarene (www.ucnorlando.org)
for providing a covered trailer to transport the furniture.
COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS also presented Kelly with a gift bag with
a breast cancer awareness blanket made by breast cancer survivor Linda
Robinson, a BP gas gift card, a Target gift card and a breast cancer
awareness candle.
