What is God calling you to do?
Stitch-a-Wish volunteers sew, knit, and crochet for the patients at Cook Children’s.
The program provides the patients with colorful, child-friendly pillowcases that brighten their rooms; medical play therapy dolls that help patients learn about and understand the medical procedures they undergo; telemetry bibs that allow toddlers mobility even while attached to heart or seizure monitoring equipment; blankets to brighten the child’s room and bring them warmth and comfort, and knitted or crocheted purple baby hats to remind parents to keep their infants safe. These items, and many others, are utilized daily throughout the medical center for comfort, therapeutic play, arts and crafts, and safety.
A vision of the Stitch-a-Wish program is that all patients (2 years and older) receive their very own small pillow and pillowcase to use during their stay and take home with them upon discharge.
As a non-profit pediatric hospital, this can only happen through the support of volunteers and donors who are willing to give of their time and resources. Our invitation to sew, knit, or crochet is extended to everyone interested in volunteering from home.
For more information on the program please contact Christy Beck, Stitch-a-Wish Program Coordinator, at [email protected] or 682-885-4590.
Important information – please read
- All items must come from a smoke-free environment.
- All items must be washed and, if needed, ironed. This is for the protection of our patients.
- We no longer accept items made of fleece due to infection control reasons (flannel and minky fabrics are OK).
- Due to many religious preferences of our patients, please do not use any fabric or wording that has a religious connotation as it limits our ability to utilize the items with the patients.
- Please be sure to check all items for straight pins.
