October has been an amazing month!

October has been awesome for us! So many people have reached out and donated scarves.
So... I will be making trips to local hospitals and hospices this week. I am really looking forward to handing them all the wonderful scarf donations!
Since I've received so many, I would also like to ask that if you are reading this and know someone who could benefit from some new, beautiful scarves due to hair loss from chemo, please let me know!! I am more than glad to send them out or hand deliver them. They do not have to be local, just in need of a scarf or two.
I would also like to ask for a different type of donation. If anyone works for a company or knows of a company that makes boxes (small gift boxes) I could really use them. I am currently purchasing boxes and to have some donated would be awesome. Also ribbon- if anyone has spare ribbon or items to really jazz up the boxes I put the scarves in, I will gladly accept those donations.

Thanks so much everyone! I am so grateful for all the wonderful contributions. It means so much!

A letter from Community Hospice

One of our recipients of the scarves is Community Hospice of Jacksonville. They are a wonderful facilty that takes care of terminally ill patients.
Community Hospice recently sent The Jessica Project a letter.

" Please accept our sincere thanks for your gift of scarves through The Jessica Project for the patients of Community Hospice. We appreciate your kindness.
Community supported and community focused, Community Hopsice provides the very best care customized to the needs of each patient and family.
Though people turn to us when they are facing death, CH is about life, and celebrating life until it ends. Your support makes it possible to reach out to and embrace those in our care. We appreciate so much that you are a part of this important mission and thank you for you your support again. "

Please understand- that this is not my contribution. This is the contribution of everyone who has donated to The Jessica Project. Please continue to help me make the lives of those with cancer and similar illnesses a little brighter through the donation of head scarves.

Thank you so much!

A special thank you to Mrs. C. Windham

Thank you so much! When I received your packaged yesterday, it brought me to tears. The way that you so cheerfully donated the scarves just melted my heart. I am so excited to divvy them out this week.
Oh and Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
