A Holiday SURPRISE!

Ann recently blogged that we are now well-supplied with WAS quilts for the next year.  Part of the reason for her grateful post that is that we received a shipment of 40 gorgeous, colorful quilts from the sewists at Zion United Methodist Church in Macedon, New York just this week!   I had so much fun opening this "present" and thinking about the joy they will bring to the Rotaplast patients worldwide!   Wrap-A-Smile remains ever appreciative of your quilted in love donations.           -Paige

A Victory Lap!!

It’s time to celebrate a victory lap as we thank all of our wonderful, generous quilters who have helped us uphold a longtime pledge.  When our founder Terry Hodskins dreamed of the Wrap-A-Smile mission, she pledged that we would make sure that every future Rotaplast patient would be wrapped in a handmade quilt at the time of their surgery.  Twenty three years later, we are still meeting that goal. When the Covid pandemic struck, stalling overseas medical missions, we faced an uncertain future.  When would the Rotaplast doctors be able to resume providing care…..?  If we stopped collecting quilts, would our network remember WAS when we someday needed quilts again? Fortunately the medical teams are back traveling the world, and every time we worry about whether we will have enough quilts, a surprise delivery arrives.  Generosity and goodness abound! With heartfelt thanks I can report that we are now well supplied with WAS quilts well into the next year! Thank yo...
