Pillowcases
Spread the Word
Spread the Word
Addi loved home bedding in her hospital room and treasured all of the home-made pillowcases she received. We're looking for fun (but no glitter), 100% cotton, standard-size home-made or new pillow cases. They are used as the Big Beautiful "Bag" to hold joykit contents and then to be re-purposed as a pillow case in the room of a hospitalized child (newborns to older teens)! Feel free to include a note or your group's branding.
All pillowcases can be delivered or mailed to:
Big Beautiful Life, 22 Essex Way #8054, Essex, VT 05452
(Or arrange to drop off by emailing info@BigBeautifulLife.org)
Encourage a Hero
Create heartfelt and uplifting cards which will raise spirits and bring joy & encouragement to our Big Beautiful Life kids. Your bright, fun card is the first thing kids see when they open their joykit.
