A cancer patient named Alma put on a cap crocheted by a woman named Anne. 

Alma was moved to tears because a total stranger had spent hours praying and crocheting something to ease her suffering as she battled her cancer.
         Anne was moved to tears because this brave cancer patient reminded her of her own mother’s fight with cancer years ago.
          Variations on this transaction happened 501 times more that day at LAC+USC Medical Center during the 2018 Acts of Kindness Blanket Distribution. Volunteers from faith communities across Southern California came to give blankets to the patients, including Rev. Sue Fisher &, Rev. Karen Claassen & Rick Huff, Anne Coiffi, Rebekah Vander, Sherri Hodge and Rev. Lyn Gifford. Thanks to everyone who came together to make the 2018 Acts of Kindness possible
