Dream Catchers For Kids

 
I have long believed in the power of dreams both good and bad. I also believe in the Dream Catcher's ability to ward off bad dreams. I thought it would be something a child fighting cancer would believe in as well. Being in a hospital and sometimes alone at night with strangers all around, it could bring peace to a frightened child fighting sleep. We all know that rest is part of healing especially fighting this disease.
So I am making small dream catchers to send to the cancer hospitals in my area and if time allows to others through out the country. It is my small way to bring comfort to suffering children and to fight cancer.
Cancer has touched my family through many generations in all forms. Though none were children,
 I can only imagine what a child might suffer.
I will supply the small dream catchers at no charge as a gift of courage and hope.
Sleep well dear child of hope, and dream free.

An old Indian legend says that night air is filled with good and bad
dreams. The dream catcher catches the dreams as they go by. The
good dreams know the way and slip through the center hole, then
slide gently down the soft feathers. The bad dreams, not knowing
the way, get caught in the web and perish at first light.
Dream catchers were hung on cradle boards and other places in
the lodge for all to have good dreams.

         

 
I have sent out the first box of 50 dream catchers to Texas Children's Cancer & Hematology Center August 3rd 2017. We sent the next box to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and received a wonderful letter of thanks. Next box will go to a Shriner's Hospital for Children it is complete. Now that the move to Pennsylvania is completed I can begin working on this project again. Thank you for your interest.
