FEATURED IMPACT IN THE NEWS League City is partnering with area residents to bring awareness to wounded veterans. Sheryl Hayslip-Bahena from Teo’s Treasures Quilt Shop at 1837 E. FM 517, Dickinson, and Mitzi Leatherman are working to collect 500 handmade quilts to distribute on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to local veterans and their families, according to a League City news release. “We have so many veterans out there that need to be acknowledged,” Leatherman said in a video about the project. The quilts will be distributed at a luncheon Nov. 11 at Hometown Heroes Park, 1001 E. League City Parkway, League City. The residents hope to raise awareness about post-traumatic stress disorder, which many veterans are diagnosed with, and the family members of veterans who have lost their lives to PTSD or while serving, the release reads. The project started when Leatherman realized due to COVID-19, there have not been many veteran- focused events in recent years. Leatherman approached Hayslip- Bahena, who was already making quilts for women who had been
abused, about the project, and they decided to partner on the project, Hayslip-Bahena said in the video. Veterans or their surviving family members can request a quilt at www.leaguecity.com/quilt. Those who want to donate quilts can email mitzileatherman03@gmail.com or call Teo’s Treasures Quilt Shop at 281-532-6248. Quilts do not need to have a patriotic theme or colors and can instead be traditional quilts, according to the release. “We want to be able to reach a wide audience with this,” Leatherman said. “If you have a quilt that’s a patriotic quilt and would like to donate it to us, come to Teo’s Treasures. If you have a traditional quilt that you would like to donate, bring it to Teo’s Treasures.” 281-532-6248. www.teostreasures.com
