Scott We have heard that Scott who received a quilt from us earlier this year, is poorly at the moment. Scott's mum, Christine sent us this message: "Hi, my little man Scott received one of your quilts back in may and he is now a very poorly little guy. We are going to the Children's Hospital in Oxford tomorrow where he will have surgery on Tuesday. He never does well with anaesthetic and this surgery is his last chance before his care is switched to palliative.If you are religious please include him in your prayers and if you are not please just cross your fingers! Thank you x" We will keep you and Scott in our thoughts, Christine. New Helper Katherine's son James has been helping her to assemble Alice B's quilt this week. Well done James :)
