Betty, Have you seen...or heard of "prayer shawls"??? often made for woman with Breast cancer...many different shawl patterns used...some rectangle, some triangles.....

the "Idea" of it is prayers are said by the maker, as it is being stitched/sewn/crocheted/knitted....prayers for health and recovery etc..of the recipient....then donated to cancer center/hospital...the centers then give to patients who have cancer treatments/ surgeries..etc.....My Momma knits them..and they go to the oncology center where she had some of her treatments......she was given one, that is how she found out about them...so now she "gives back"

would be something different for you to make!!!??? and another good "cause" to give to..
