Disclosure Statement: Every attempt is made to utilize the over 10,000 handmade items Cook Children'’s receives through its Stitch-A-Wish program each year. On occasion, an item may not be functional such as a pillowcase that does not fit due to a size miscalculation or sewing mishap, fabric that is for adults and not child friendly, or fabric that has been previously used or is damaged. These items are given to other non-profit agencies in the area such as shelters, missions, and nursing homes. Stitchers are encouraged to visit www.dfwstitchawish.com for project guidelines so their resources and time are well spent in creating items that find a home with the patients. Please feel free to contact Christy Beck, Recruitment & Recognition Coordinator, with any questions or concerns at 682-885-4590 or Christy.beck@cookchildrens.org.
