Pillowcases4Love

Happy June...with nearly 200 pillowcases headed to the border for distribution to children. Yes, Mathew and I have been super busy. We have established relationships in El Paso with Borderland Ministries / Ojinaga, St Francis on the Hill Church, and Casa Papa Francisco (part of Annunciation House). Each of these venues will be able to deliver the pillowcases to children-in-need in border shelters and orphanages.   

We are so excited and appreciative of the work these new partners engage in to ensure that safety and love surround these little ones. Our pillowcases are sure to help with that! This batch includes cool cats, dancing cows, bicycling chickens, leaping frogs, and so much more...guaranteed to produce smiles, joy, and a reminder that "you are loved."  

During one of our recent  deliveries, two delightful staff agreed to my photographing their joy over receiving several armloads of pillowcases. They told me "our families just LOVE these." We heard similar remarks from a second shelter we delivered to, and then this comment from a social worker at a third venue: "You know, we get some pretty hardened kids here. I hand them a pillowcase and point out the tab. They say 'what's that?' I tell them, 'you are loved, someone made this especially for you.' The kids melt. These pillowcases are a game changer."

Thank you for contributing to this game changing effort - one pillowcase, one child, one filled heart at a time.

It is Spring, and it's raining cats and dogs! And lots of love! Playful monkeys, writing our letters, what shall we build?, learning our numbers, and Noah's Ark. We also have baby blankets blooming with frogs in the strawberry beds, paw prints among the flowers, and rainbows galore! We delivered these pillowcases and blankets (100 total!) to children in several of our venues, spreading our "you are loved" sunshine and happiness all around. 

Thank you for helping us deliver so much joy! 

In January and February of 2026 we delivered over 100 pillowcases and 25 baby blankets to children and seniors in need. We received a special gift from Mathew's mom - a dozen large, cuddly blankets made in the shape of cute animals and insects. These were gifted to twelve children in a domestic violence shelter who were going through a particularly tough time. What a joy to bring them some joy! Imagine wrapping yourself in a huge butterfly blanket or a cozy puppy dog to feel the warmth and love of something you can call your very own. 

Thank you for helping us bring smiles and love to hundreds of children. 

In early 2026, 100 of our pillowcases were gifted to seniors celebrating their birthdays at Luisa and Pasatiempo Senior Centers! The pillowcases were packed beautifully with festive ribbons. Other goodies were included, too, for this joyous occasion. And...we just delivered several dozen more pillowcases for next month's birthday guys and gals! We are grateful to be part of such special gatherings.
