Stitch a Memory Bear/Pillow: Create a Forever Friend.

VITAS Healthcare is looking for people who love to sew and who are able to share their skills with hospice patients and families. A Memory Bear or Memory Pillow, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend who can ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITAS hospice patient.

Sewn from a favorite shirt, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear/Pillow (pattern provided) may recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling.

This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work seek you can make the biggest difference in another's life.
