Started in 2012 by Bonnie Kellogg, Case for Caring set out to provide unique, fun pillowcases for pediatric oncology patients. Nurses had mentioned the positive emotional impact this simple item can have on a hospitalized child. It personalizes their bed during treatment and they take it home when they leave.
Our first recipient hospitals were Central DuPage Hospital in Illinois, and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in California, with a goal of putting 100 pillowcases in the storage room at each hospital so that nurses would have plenty from which to choose for their incoming patients.
Over the years we have delivered on that promise many times over. With 300+ pillowcases still in our stash and ready for delivery, we have decided that it’s time to get those to children, and then move on to other projects.
Thanks to everyone who has supported this project over the years!
