Yesterday we delivered 10 quilts to Eastern Palliative Care and I also took 10 quilts donated by Waverley Patchworkers. The quilts were very well received and we have also received a lovely email from a family member of a Palliative care patient to thank us for the quilt we donated.
She wrote " my father received one of your amazing quilts whilst in Palliative care last year. It's a beautiful quilt and the tag has your name on it. It was a very sad time for us, but having the quilt really made the room feel more homely and much less clinical. It also kept him warm. We would like to make a cash donation in his memory to Oz Comfort Quilts" . The family very generously donated $300 which will be put towards costs as we are self funded. We don't do this for acknowledgement but it's always lovely to hear how much our quilts are appreciated and how they bring comfort when people are facing challenges.
Thank you all for your generous support which makes this possible.
Hugs, Jan Mac xx

Beautiful quilts and even if it is not required it is lovely to hear a quilt was well received, the donation is very generous.
That is a beautiful gesture from the family. I am currently in Bairnsdale with my mil in palliative care. I have been here for 10 days now and can see how much a difference the quilts do make.
