QUILTS TO ST. JUDE’S

 

            In August our quilting group sent 10 of their beautiful quilts to St. Jude’s Hospital.  Brooke Snyder, who is on our prayer list, was a patient at St. Jude’s.  Brooke is 5 years old and was diagnosed early this summer with an inoperable brain tumor.  She was admitted to St. Jude’s for an 8-week course of treatment to shrink the tumor.  The quilts were sent to Brooke for her to pick out her favorite and share the rest of them with her friends at St. Jude’s.
