"I wasn’t going to disappoint you after a promise! So, I just did what I could in a short space of time. I’ve actually found the process of making pouches to be quite relaxing at night - listening to the tv or music in the background." C. Cowan

C. Cowan, member of a Community Outreach Group has donated her time to create 100 new Hickman Holders for patients at Vancouver General Hospital!
"Just wanted to reach out to say thank you for providing this thoughtful pouch!"
My husband received his pouch at VGH, yesterday. He said it was such a nice improvement over the metal clips and tape that have been used over the past couple of weeks. Certainly, much more comfortable against his chest, especially while sleeping last night.
The nurses told us that this was the first shipment they’d received in quite awhile. That got me wondering if you need more help to produce these.
As a quilter, I have access to materials and quite possibly a large group of willing participants. Please let me know if this type of support would be of interest to you and/or what can else could be done to help."

"Dear Hickman Holder producer,
Thank you for your beautiful Hickman Holder which accompanied me through 86 days of recovery from cancer.
I am an MDS patient who underwent chemotherapy and then a successful bone marrow transplant. From Day 20 (Dec 6) when I was discharged from VGH and started being taken care of by Bone Marrow Transplant Day Care, up to Day 105 (today) when my condition is considered stable enough for the Hickman Line to be pulled, I used a beautiful Hickman Holder everyday.
Today I came home with no Hickman Line hanging from my chest. I washed my Hickman Holder, folded and slipped it back into the original transparent plastic pocket with the label card, and filed it in my MDS folder, which will be taking less and less of my attention.
Just want you to know that your work has been of huge help to cancer patients. I feel so lucky having "met" generous people like you."
