GROVE, OK (March 1, 2016) – Members of the Women’s Auxiliary Association of Monkey Island recently presented a donation of handmade baby blankets to Logan Thronebury of the women’s health unit at INTEGRIS Grove Hospital.
WAAMI began sewing the high-quality, hand crafted blankets in October of 2014. Since that time, they have donated nearly 300 blankets to the unit. The blankets are given primarily to new parents with limited resources.
Members of the Monkey Island Women’s Auxiliary delivered a box full of handmade blankets to Logan Thronebury of the INTEGRIS women’s health unit. The treasured blankets are given to newborn babies, with priority going to families with limited resources.
Logan Thronebury, B.S.N., RN, a supervisor on the unit, is very thankful for the donation. “Our parents love the blankets donated by WAAMI. It is usually the nicest and softest blanket they have. The blanket is more than just an item to our patients. The blanket holds many memories for them and becomes a cherished treasure. They are humbled and thankful to be able to wrap their bundles of joy up in one of these beautiful blankets. Most importantly they are touched that this group of generous women cares enough to share their talents and share their love during this special time in a women’s life,” said Thronebury.
WAAMI president Joyce Weber spearheads the project and said the group spends about $200 per month on the fabric. Donations to support this project are happily accepted. Please contact Weber at 918-694-4518 for more information.
