Zachary Hughes

It's not very often that I receive updates from the recipients of the quilts so you can imagine my surprise when Zachary's father emailed me a few days ago with news on how Zachary is doing.

He has given me permission to quote his email

Hello Clare
 
Just thought I'd drop you a brief email to let you know that our son, Zachary still uses the wonderful quilt you sent EVERY day! Here is a photo of him taken just after falling asleep a few days ago!
 

As well as his leukemia, he has lots of other problems too which have culminated in severe separation anxiety. This means that come his bedtime he won't go upstairs without us. So he sleep the first few hours on a been bag - and ALWAYS with his 'cover' as he calls it - your quilt!
 
Thought you might like to know your work lasts??!

Thanks once again, with all our heart!
 
Ian & Kerri Hughes
 Thanks Ian and Kerri for keeping in touch.
