The Pacific Beach Woman’s Club (PBWC), in partnership with the Mira Mesa Woman’s Club (MMWC), created comfort pillows which they will mail to men and women across the world who are coping with breast cancer. “The Mira Mesa Woman’s Club started this 15 years ago and they don’t have a clubhouse, and we have a club house,” said Jody Ross, president of the PBWC. Ross believes this is the sixth year the PBWC has participated in the event which the MMWC began in 1995. The MMWC has shipped more than 50,000 pillows around world. It is a service it provides to women and men who have had a lumpectomy, a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. The MMWC raises funds each year to afford mailing the gifts that are free of charge to recipients. A personalized card is included with each pillow. The women create nearly 1,000 pillows at the annual sewing event. Ross noted how uncomfortable post-surgery days can be for patients, especially after a mastectomy. The pillow provides squishy-comfort with which patients can cuddle. “The pillow cases are absolutely beautiful,” Ross said. Each is one-of-a-kind and washable. They are approximately 8-inches-by-15-inches. A pillow can make someone feel more comfortable when they are recovering from any one of those treatments. “It’s really a worthwhile thing,” Ross said.
