Nancy Penfold has donated handmade blankets and pillowcases to FirstHealth since 2012. Her dedication to service, combined with her energetic personality and motivation to equip and inspire others make her a prime example of a Moore Regional Hospital “Care Crafter” volunteer. Under Nancy coordination, Legacy Lakes Helping Hands have contributed 687 hours of service doing at-home projects to benefit the patients at MRH. The comforting lapghans provided to Inpatient Oncology adult patients are received with gratefulness. The staff, patients and family members are thankful for volunteers like Nancy who take the time to provide a small comfort during a stressful and difficult time. All the Pediatric patients—from teens to very young children—love the colorful pillowcases. Even though the children are sick, picking out their own personal pillowcase brings a smile to their face. They can’t wait to show their friends and family!

Nancy has been making beautiful hand-made items for Womens & Childrens Hospital of Buffalo for several years. They have been greatly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed this year, especially with the very cold temperatures. The warmth of the blankets and pillowcases was described by one patient as a "warm hug." Whether kids are battling cancer or learning to live with a life-long disability, their worlds are forever changed and Nancy has helped to brighten the lives of many young patients.

Nancy's artistic and creative talents allow her to develop merchandise which is high in quality and personalized to meet individual interests. She is also able to complete requests in a timely fashion. The recipients of gifts which I purchased from Nancy were quite satisfied. I will continue to order from her product line.

Nancy (The Queen Bee) has a wonderful product line. Each item is individually handcrafted. I've bought a number of her personalized pieces as gifts and my friends loved them. Her pillow cases are adorable and each stitch is made with lots of love as all her proceeds are donated to help in cancer research. You can't go wrong ordering from The Queen Bee!!!!

I commissioned the Queen Bee to create four unique logo signs on reclaimed pallet wood to give as gifts to special people in my life. Each design was meticulously created and beautifully embellished and the results were spectacular. Needless to say, the recipients absolutely loved the signs as the unique, individualized design spoke to them in a very personal manner. These gifts are perfect for friends or family that have "everything" and are ‘hard to buy for’. Just provide the Queen Bee with a few thoughts or ideas on what you’re looking for and let her creativity spring forth providing you with a lovely gift to give, or get one for yourself! These gifts are truly one of kind and will be cherished always.
