While most 12 year-olds are playing with friends or playing games, Priyasha Landry is the founder of 'Cases of Love'.
She spends her free time making pillow cases for children with cancer but also for Honor Flight Nevada participants, "It is honorable because they are going to remember that and a lot of them say they will be buried with them when they die," says Landry.
With help from her family Landry has made almost a thousand pillow cases in the past few years. Each pillow case has a quilt made by 'Quilts of Valor' inside along with a letter written by Landry explaining who she is and questions she has for them. In return these veterans write a letter back, talking about their experience in the military and how thankful they are, "War is not kind and I do not want to tell you all the details. We all had to do what we had to at the time and I am fortunate to come back to my family, many others were not," Landry reads from a letter she received this week.
For her other project, 'Cases of Love' she makes pillows for children with cancer and is currently working on sending 50 of them to an orphanage in Nepal, "We find kids and ask what they like and then their names and then some people contact us on Facebook."
Landry and her business run completely off on donations, from fabric, thread and even repairments to her sewing machines. If you would like to help Landry and her 'Cases of Love' you can visit: https://www.facebook.com/priyashapillowcases/
