A wonderful friend of ours, Don, is very ill. He has esophageal cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation at the Cleveland Clinic. He's a firefighter in our fair city and his firefighter brothers are sponsoring a dinner, reverse raffle and silent auction in May. I wanted to create something and donate it for the silent auction or door prize.
I went through my stash and I love these two fabrics. Pictured is a dish drying mat, two pot holders/hot pads, two mini pot holders/hot pads and two linen dish towels.
This is not a "big" item to donate, but something I enjoyed making for this purpose. As I made this, I was constantly thinking and praying for Don, his wife and his entire family.
We pray for Don often and if you are so inclined, a prayer for Don Beckett would truly be appreciated. Don is the author of his personal journey. If you would like to read his story, you can click on this link:Don Beckett Medical Update.
God bless.
My prayers go out for Don and his family. That is a tough battle.
ReplyDeleteThose are all lovely donation items.
They are very nice items that you have made and many time the smaller things seel better than something large. I know Don has to appreciate your kindness in thinking of him and even more so your prayers.
ReplyDeleteItems people can actually use are often very popular at auctions - I bet yours will be because the fabric is wonderful and so are the items! And yes, prayers will be said. blessings, marlene
