Thank you to our friends at Eversight for inviting us to their beautiful office last week to make comfort blankets for new donor families. It was an afternoon filled with laughter, sharing stories, and, most importantly, making 20 comfort blankets for new donor families. The Michigan Donor Family Council, Donate Life Coalition of Michigan, and Gift of Life Michigan are grateful for Eversight’s outreach and compassion.
We can't wait to come back!!!
