My former neighbor used to make head covers from old t-shirts. These were given to a local wig store that would then give them to cancer patients. This neighbor, a former cancer patient, has since died.

That was really sweet of your neighbor to make those head coverings to donate. They’re much appreciated by cancer patients…
I’m so sorry to hear that she’s passed away. Her kindness lives on, I’m sure! Who knows how many of those caps are still in use?! Even though my hair has grown back, I still have some old chemo caps that I wear when out walking on chilly days when a wool sock hat is too warm. I bet you miss your neighbor, she sounded like a very lovely person.

njhornung- What a thoughtful neighbor. It reminds me of my mom. We had a skit at a women's conference i attend, that had a "SPA" theme. I talked with Mom on what we needed and what i might do. We found thick nice robes, and my mom made the dozens of cast members the wrap for your head. They were beautifully made and the ladies and most of them told me how special they felt. The loved them. My mom helped with many projects. I bet your neighbor was a kindhearted soul who loved bringing joy into the world too. One head cover at a time.
