SAS4Kids
continues to grow and help put smiles on more kids’ faces! We are happy to
announce two more volunteers and two more children’s hospitals we are now
serving! Our other volunteers have been receiving more cards than their hospitals
could handle, so we are thrilled to add two more addresses and volunteers. Their smiling faces have now been added to the side of our blog along with the name of the two new hospitals. Both
of our newest volunteers have only one hospital at this time, so we are asking
your help again. If you know any children’s hospitals fairly close to East
Ridge, TN or Ottumwa, IA who might want to receive your handmade cards for
their kids, let us know. (See Contact Us page for email addresses where you could share that information.) You do not
need to volunteer if for any reason you are unable to, but it would help us to
know of additional children’s hospitals close to these or any of our volunteers
that we could maybe add to our list. However, if you would like to become a
SAS4Kids volunteer who accepts and distributes cards to a children’s hospital
or two near you, we are still open to adding more volunteers in different
states across the USA.
Our
first new volunteer is Cathy Cusson
and she is collecting your cards for kids at Niswonger Children’s Hospital in
Johnson City, TN. Here is what Cathy shared about herself:
My name is Cathy Cusson. I have several passions in my life and
quite a few of them center around art. I love card making and
scrapbooking. I retired from teaching May 2017. I had been in the
elementary classroom for 40 years! While in the classroom I made cards
for my kids and also made one for each of the staff's birthdays. So when
I discovered SAS4Kids, it was a perfect fit. I could make cards and also
help others to connect their lovely cards with children. On a personal
note, I am single with no children of my own. If you ask me about
children, I do say to the shock of many I have several hundred! I keep in
touch with most of "my" kids. I love animals and my only
"baby" right now is a large black lab mix. He is spoiled rotten
and definitely knows he is the baby!
Cathy’s
address is:

Ridge TN 37412
Our
second new volunteer is Beverly Bethune
and she is ready to receive your handmade cards for kids at Blank Children’s
Hospital in Des Moines IA. Here is what Beverly shared about herself:
I've been
a community college instructor for over 20 years and still love it. In my spare
time I prefer being around home so I spend time with my family, do paper
crafting, crochet, and cross-stitch. I also love music and play the piano at a
small church. When the weather is good I like to work in my yard and I
particularly like hostas. That may sound like a boring life to a
lot of people, but it keeps me happy. I am definitely a "kid
person" and look forward to working with SAS4kids to provide cards to the
children's hospitals in Iowa.
And this
is her address to send your handmade kids’s cards to:
Beverly Bethune
Ottumwa,
IA 52501
Thanks for helping us share joy and
cards in the many children’s hospitals we now serve!
