WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS

FIDGET QUILTS AND PILLOWS

For many people living with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and even Stroke
the gradual regression of their memory often leads to unintended habits of agitated movement and fidgeting with their hands. A person with Dementia may pull on their clothing or bedding, or rub their hands up and down a surface. Many of our friends deal with this habit by carrying around small objects such as beads, zippers, buttons, or any other different textured textiles. The simple solution to this is a fidget pillow, something with different textures and material sewn in for patients in order to keep their hands busy. This not only keeps them busy but it also induces unique forms of brain activity.
Together, with the help of donations and materials, we can reach out our helping hands to bring activity back into their lives.

OUR MISSION

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY

Our goal is reach as many people across the to help bring comfort to their lives. All of our pillows are hand-made and especially created by volunteers students who have taken the opportunity to make a difference in our community. The aim is for these pillows to not only satisfy the fidgeting tendencies but to also spread hope across the community.
Together we thrive to spread our caring hand
