NORWAY — When Deb Skinner told her three grandchildren she was sewing some items for cancer patients, they wanted to help her — especially since, according to grandson Lukas, “my great grandmother had cancer.
“So she taught them how to make the small pillows that fit under a breast cancer patient’s arm after surgery, and the port protectors that wrap around a seatbelt to ease pressure on the area of the chest where many cancer patients receive their chemotherapy treatments.
According to Deb, “if you teach a child how good it makes you feel by ‘paying it forward,’ they will be less likely to be looking for “feel good” activities that may lead to bad decisions.”
