Sharing something special

Today I was informed of a heartwarming event that Patti , Brenda Salzano, and her etsy group ,who are also Comfort Doll Donors took part in. These women are truly committed to bring awareness to this project. You must view the photos and read what they are doing...
Letter from Patti:
I am sure you are familiar with Etsy and wanted you to know that recently our local Etsy Team did a window display downtown Coos Bay. We added a basket of Comfort Dolls made by Brenda Salzano and myself to display in the window with a brief description of what a Comfort Doll is and how anyone can participate. I added your Comfort Doll Banner with a link to the site and mine and Brenda's phone number along with your address to mail the dolls to .
I have attached photos of the display.
God Bless You Patricia. I just wanted you to know your project is being promoted here in our community.
Hugs
The dolls on display will be coming to you after Christmas

My heart was warmed once again by Comfort Doll angels..thank you all for what you do.
