On Tuesday, February 23 rd The Sherman School participated in Matthew’s Hearts of Hope Fifth Annual “Hug a Heart “pillow project. The children stuffed a total of 353 heart pillows, all going to children who have to undergo open heart surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, where one of their colleagues in First Grade, Matthew Hatcher has had four open heart surgeries. Sherman Selectman Clay Cope was in attendance on Tuesday morning at the start of their busy day of filling the pillows!
Also in attendance were four Quinnipiac University students including Sherman School Graduate Andrew Sauer who is directing a documentary on the life of Matthew Hatcher and other CHD Warriors called “The Art of the Heart” as his senior project, being released in May. We were also fortunate to have a visit from two Danbury Titan Players Matt Caranci and Kory Helowka. All in all it was a special day that will ultimately bring comfort to sick children. A thank you goes out to Fairfield Processing of Danbury who donate all the Polyfill, Clothing Labels4u, a Florida company who donated 2000 tags at a discount and also JoAnn Fabric who sells us the fabric at 50% off and lastly One Stop Cleaners in New Fairfield who donate the bags that the Hug a Heart Pillows are delivered in.
Thank you to all who participated, it is a special project close to my heart and Matthew’s half a heart! It is a labor of love for sure! You are all making a difference in the lives of children who can use these heart pillows to hug, that have been stuffed full with polyfill, love and a few ounces of hope!!
