Quilts for Mental Health
Being admitted to a hospital is an anxious time.
Everyone struggles with the uncertainties, the tests, the questions, the food, and the uncomfortable bed. Psychiatric patients are no different.
However, these individuals are often admitted under a veil of secrecy, fear and stigma. No one knows they’re in the hospital. No one knows they need support and a hug. Mental Health America of Kentucky wants to change that.
We are starting an innovative project around that necessary hug. We are collecting quilts to donate to individuals admitted to psychiatric hospitals.
If you like to quilt, this project is for you!
Like to quilt but don’t have the supplies and funds to make one? We’ve got donations of supplies, so we can get them to you. Email mhaky@mhaky.org with “quilt” in the subject line.
Don’t know how to make quilts but want to contribute?
It costs us approximately $50.00 to make a new quilt. Every quilt requires needle, thread, fabric and batting. Donate at www.gofundme.com/mha-kyquilts.
Have a fabric or sewing stash getting out of control?
Donate unused 100% cotton fabric, batting, or thread. Contact us at 859-684-7778 or via email at mhaky@mhaky.org to make arrangements.
