Las Sendas Quilt Club celebrates the holidays with giving

by Audrey Good December 31, 2012
written by Audrey Good December 31, 2012

For the second consecutive year, the Las Sendas Quilt Club has donated quilts to Ryan House.

Located in Central Phoenix, Ryan House is a non-profit children’s hospice home, the only such facility in the Southwest. This past year, 24 quilts were made by club members, and will be used to welcome children staying at Ryan House. Placed on the child’s bed upon arrival, the quilt goes home, too, at the end of the stay. In different ways, these quilts become special to each child and the families. Each quilt is a special, personal memory of the child’s stay.

The hospice services at Ryan House are directed toward children and are guided by the principles of pediatric palliative care. This philosophy of comfort care addresses not only physical pain, but also emotional, spiritual and social needs of the child and family. The mission is to provide essential care in a home-like setting, where children with life-threatening conditions and their families may come for respite and, as needed, end of life care.

The home-like setting greets you at the door. A warm family/great room, beautifully decorated for the holidays, includes a library, reading corners, comfy sofas and open views to the outdoors. Each of eight children’s bedrooms opens to a playground area and has accommodations for a family member, friends or sibling to stay if they wish.

Rooms for hydrotherapy, sensory development, music, crafts and a wheelchair accessible playground and patio all say kids. Families also have bedrooms, living rooms and reflection rooms to help them cope with the challenges they face. Learn more about this very special place at www.ryanhouse.com.
