Is a charitable organization that makes pillowcases for children with life threating illnesses.

"Olivia is an 11 year old spitfire of a girl who loves life, her church, school, friends, and family. July 2014 she was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. For 10 months she was treated with harsh chemotherapy and four surgeries to combat the cancer. As of April 2015 she was cleared as cancer free and in remission. By November 2015 she began developing low grade fevers, bruising and feeling lethargic. After some testing and further/ quick analysis, she was diagnosed wit AML (leukemia). She's now going through even more harsh chemo and will require a bone marrow transplant in the coming months. She is such a fighter and will beat this because of her faith in God and her inner strength and determination. She received not one but two of Ryan's Case for Smiles pillowcases and sleeps with both pillowcases every night. Thank you for doing this and letting her know that someone cares for kids with cancer. "- Matt, dad

Your participation in this outreach is encouraged. We have local groups that gather and sew. If you don't sew we need cutters and other helpers. You can also make the pillow cases on your own and drop them off at the shop.

Please contact Doris Caldwell for more information.
