The reporting lives at WLOX. Our summary is checked against it, and we link it on every story.

Retired members of Alpha Kappa Alpha delivered handmade quilts to patients at Singing River's cancer center, WLOX reported. The group, the Cultured Pearls, brought the quilts to Pascagoula.

The delivery is one visit from one circle of quilters. The station's story is the quilts they carried in, not a claim about treatment and not a count of every patient on the floor.
