Tote bags brighten lives of breast cancer survivors
Thursday November 5, 2015
Surrounded by piles of fabric and design sketches, a small group of volunteers who live at The Heritage of Green Hills comes together each week to combine their hearts and talents to bring a smile to breast cancer survivors.
From recycled materials, they make tote bags that are distributed by Jessie's Bags, a Delaware-based organization that gives away the items to those who have breast cancer and are undergoing treatment at hospitals. Each bag is unique and handmade by volunteers.
Three-time breast cancer survivor Jessie Moore, 86, started sewing the tote bags nine years ago when she was coping with her own diagnoses. After working in a sewing factory making children's clothing for more than three decades, Moore said she found a purpose by making the tote bags for others who were going through her experience.
"It really builds me up to hear what other people are doing to get through it all," she said during a visit this week to The Heritage. "There's not much I can do at my age to give back but I can still sew."
YEA!!!!!!!!!!
