You Can Made A Difference At Any Age

You Can Made A Difference At Any Age. Today was my mom’s wedding anniversary. Sixty-seven years ago, she was slipping into a beautiful satin bridal gown, bought off the rack and altered for her to wear for her morning wedding. How fitting, that today, she was lovingly handling wedding gowns

Some residents and family members very gently deconstructed the gowns. Undoing seams, removing zippers and crinoline, but leaving behind the luxurious, gorgeous fabric to be re-purposed into infant bereavement gowns for Allison’s Angel Gowns.< This not-for-profit was established in memory of the founder’s infant daughter who lived only one day. Volunteer seamstresses create the unique outfits using fabric from donated bridal gowns or very light pastel colored bridesmaid dresses. Our residents’ volunteerism efforts today helped whittle down Allison’s Angel Gowns’ current inventory of gowns awaiting deconstruction. Their efforts were punctuated by stories about their own weddings and past sewing projects. And to the future recipient families, the gowns silently convey loving condolences from a larger community. This is one of several volunteer activities offered for resident participation. Previously we made items for a pet rescue’s upcoming auction. Additionally we encourage letter writing between our residents and school children in Zambia, Africa. You Can Made A Difference At Any Age.
