Hi, I'm Cassie! I'm 12 1/2 , and my mom owns this site and this business! i help her sometimes and have learned to sew along the way. I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 5 years old. Every day something else hurts so i know what its like to deal with alot of aching. Sometimes its pretty unbeareable! My lupus has affected my central nervous system and brain stem, which affects my eyes, my head and brain, and all the nerves that cause pain in my joints and the rest of my body. Without my team of doctors and nurses and specialists at Childrens Hospital in New Orleans and Oschner For Childrens working all the time to find a cure and to make my life a little easier, well, i dont know what i'd do.
Once, when i spent Christmas and all through the New Year holidays in the hospital, a little girl and her mother came into my room. The little girl handed me a gift. It was a square, hand-sewn soft, and very comfy, Sponge Bob pillow. Out of all the presents i received that year in the hospital, it was my favorite. i carried it with me every where and still have it to this day. Now its my turn to make other kids happy, if i can. So I've been making pillows, too! At Christmas time, my mom takes me to Childrens Hospital and we hand them out to children who have to spend the holidays away from home. In order to get the materials to be able to do that, the rest of the year, the pillows i make for kids and offer on this site, are sold so that 100% of the profits go for making the pillows that are given away. Anything left over will be donated to the Childrens Lupus Foundation. So please buy a pillow when i get more of them to put back on the site and you will be helping me achieve a hope i have of giving back! My mom is going to put a link, too, in case you'd like to learn more about Lupus or donate directly to the Childrens Lupus Foundation. Thanks for taking the time to read today! |
