Children with sickle cell disease at St. Louis Children’s Hospital will be wrapped in the warmth of a stranger’s kindness this winter. That stranger, 102-year-old Corrine Fick, has donated more than 100 blankets to the children. Fick, who is legally blind and nearly deaf, began making the blankets to improve her manual dexterity, at the recommendation of her physical therapist. Now, it’s become a labor of love. Dr. Michael DeBaun, director of the Sickle Cell Program at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, handed the blankets out to his patients in early October. He explained that in addition to the kindness of the gesture, the blankets will bring much-needed comfort to his patients in the coming months because cold weather can cause severe pain to a child living with sickle cell. On behalf of Dr. DeBaun, the staff, patients and families in the sickle cell program, thank you Mrs. Fick!
