... to make a child’s life a bit happier changed my outlook as well.

81-year-old Carol Hover is a patient at Bronson Cancer Center - Kalamazoo who recently arranged with Bronson's child life team to make a donation of hand-made quilts for young patients also undergoing cancer care at Bronson. Here is her story:

“I am a patient in the cancer center at Bronson diagnosed with small B-cell lymphoma and in treatment at the present time. Dr S. Siddiqui is my doctor. I make small quilts with new fabrics in different colors, sizes, some flannel and some cotton. Making the quilts is my therapy in accepting the fact that at my age of 81 years God can still use me to serve him. I was not prepared to accept the fact of having cancer enter into my life at this late stage of my life, it was extremely hard to adjust to for a while and I was in denial. But, when I realized by donating quilts to children with cancer that perhaps I could still be a part of God’s plan to make a child’s life a bit happier it changed my outlook as well.”
