Supporting the Stratford Family Y and the Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth is deeply meaningful to me and my quilting partner because these organizations provide incredible support to our community in different but equally important ways.

The Stratford Family Y creates opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, build confidence, and foster connections. Whether it’s through youth programs, fitness classes or inclusive community initiatives the Y uplifts people and helps them thrive. By contributing to the Stratford Family Y, I hope to ensure these vital programs continue to make a difference in people’s lives.

The Rotary Hospice of Stratford Perth holds a special place in our hearts because of the compassionate care it provides during life’s most challenging moments. For individuals and families facing terminal illness, the hospice offers comfort, dignity, and support. It’s a sanctuary of kindness, helping people find peace when they need it the most. Raising money for the hospice is a way to honour its mission and extend that care to as many families as possible.

By fundraising for these two organizations, we aim to give back to the community and help ensure these life-changing services and programs are available to those who need them. Every dollar raised from the sale of these quilts will go toward making lives better, and that is worth all the effort and time that has gone into realizing this dream .
