Thank you Knitting Group!
The Rose City Senior Center Knitting and Crocheting group makes and donates afghans to ECHO at Backus Hospital to be distributed to cancer patients. Recently the group received this thank you letter:
Dear Knitting Group,
I am a breast cancer patient who received a beautiful afghan last week at ECHO. I am on an oral chemo pill which gave me 2 weeks of diarrhea. I was at ECHO for hydrating IV’s 4 times in one week. I received the afghan on my 2nd day and it warmed me up so well! It was made with blocks of various green squares. Lovely! At home I use it when I take naps and at bedtime at night.
Thank you for your talents and kind generosity.
Thank you Knitting Group for all that you do!
