A Memory Bear Stitched Creates a Forever Friend for a Hospice Loved-One (Sussex County)

VITAS Healthcare is looking for people who love to sew, who are able to share their skills with hospice patients and families.

A Memory Bear, sewn by a volunteer with compassion and love, is a forever friend, who can ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITS hospice patient.

Sewn from a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe or nightgown, a Memory Bear may recall the closenss of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress, or offer a sense of secruity to a child who feels alone after the loss of a parent or sibling.

This is an amazing opportunity for you to give back to the Sussex County community. By taking time out of your busy work week, you can make the biggest difference in another's life.
