Heart pillow campaign: Women give comfort for breast cancer patients

A big heart for breast cancer patients: In Germany, committed groups are committed to supporting women in a difficult time. The women of the Kneipp Association Fensterbachtal in the Schwandorf district have created beautiful, hand -sewn heart pillows for patients from the St. Marien Amberg Clinic with a lot of passion and dedication. "Every year it is a totally nice feeling for us to make these hearts," said one of the women during the handover. The pillows not only offer practical benefits, but also act as mental support in difficult times, as from the chief physician Professor Dr. Thomas Papathemelis is emphasized in a press release. Each patient can choose her personal pillow, which is not only designed, but also contains small, encouraging sayings to donate comfort. This campaign is part of a holistic approach to the psychological support of patients who have to deal with the aftermath of their treatments. Further information is in a report by

In a similar commitment, the country women Haseldorfer Marsch in Elmshorn, Schleswig-Holstein, once again handed over themselves to the Breast Cancer Center of the Regio Clinic Pinneberg in 207. This initiative, which has existed since 2010, has produced a total of over 2,100 pillows that were specially developed to support patients after breast operations. The soft pillows not only relieve pressure and scar pain, but are also loving, personal gifts that every woman appreciates after a difficult time. The initiative is worn by a dedicated team of women between the ages of 59 and 85 who meet regularly to create new pillows. In order to continue to carry out such fundraisers, the country women hope for the support of the community, as in a report by sana

Both initiatives impressively show how creative and personal projects can bring a piece of normality and consolation back into the life of women who need support in one of the most challenging phases of their lives.
