The Handmade Cooperative together with the handmade community are joining forces again this year for a wonderful cause – ‘pillowcases for oncology kids’ !
Pillowcases for oncology kids is a charity that was set up by 15 year old Brittany, a cancer survivor herself, to create and donate pillowcases to oncology kids in hospitals around Australia. You can visit her charity here.
Its not too late to join us!
Join the Handmade Cooperative and an ever growing list of handmade businesses and individuals to create unique handmade pillowcases that will be hand delivered to Brittany and her charity. All the finer details can be found here at the Handmade Cooperative website.
