JoAnn Manning of Johnston started MadeKindly so women in breast cancer treatment across Iowa could have something warm to put on, KIMT reported. The foundation, begun in honor of her sister, has now given cashmere wraps to nearly 500 women.
Manning said the wrap is meant as a small lift on a day that can feel uncertain, something soft enough to wear in a treatment room. The gift is the point of the project: a wrap, handed to a patient, with no application essay attached in the telling of it.
