Cancer de Mama

A Cancer de Mama clinic is run locally each year in early February to support Mexican women with breast cancer.  There are many ways we can assist:  Knitting tit bits (fillers for bra), sewing hats or sewing under arm pillows.  Gathering sample soaps, shampoos, creams.

Mavis purchased material to make under arm pillows this year.  Mavis and I spent an afternoon cutting the pattern out of some material.  Both of us have portable sewing machines with us so we managed to sew 13 pillows while Ruby, the receptionist at our park, stuffed the pillows.  This is only the start for us as there is enough material for at least another 20 pillows.
