Being busy and productive has always been a way of life for octogenarian Julia Luria of Chatham, New Jersey.
Along with her daughter, Gail Smith and niece, Virginia Cirelli,
these dedicated women have met once a week since late last fall for a
"stitch and sew" producing over 300 pressure pillows.
Their pillows have been personally given to amputees at Walter Reed
and the Naval Hospital as well as distributed to incoming wounded
servicemen/women at Andrews Air Force Base as they are transported to
locations closer to their homes.
This sewing project, designed by
Janice Jamison, was begun under the auspices of Operation Jersey Cares
last August and has resulted in approximately 1,000 pillows being sewn by
women of all ages, both the young and the young at heart.
