Bedsheets and Pillowcases for Haiti in partnership with “Friends of the Orphans”
Your part:
Collect new or slightly used sheets and pillowcases (any size) and drop them off by Feb 7 to:
Yoga Among Friends, 4949 Forest Ave., Downers Grove
John Shattuck, a board member for Chicago-based, Friends of the Orphans, will deliver the sheets to a hospital/orphanage in Tabarre for desperately needed bedding to accommodate the huge influx of patients, and for transporting patients to and from the hospital. Shifting from the more familiar focus of “rescue”, these sheets and pillowcases may also be used as palls for burial. Your donations will be respectfully and lovingly decorated in order to use them for this purpose. In an effort to improve the severely inadequate burial conditions for earthquake victims, Mr. Shattuck assures us that our donations will insure that as many victims as possible be “buried with dignity”. Take a minute to learn more about Frankfort resident, John Shattuck, and his work to help Haiti in this newspaper article.
Global Hope’s part:
Coordinate expedient delivery of sheets and pillowcases to the appropriate destination.
