Top Ideas for Get Well VoiceQuilts

1. Affirm the future. Ask children to tell jokes or sing songs. Ask adults to talk about things they'll enjoy doing with the recipient when he or she is well. See other thought starters here.

2. Inspire. Ask everyone to share prayers, encouraging words or favorite scripture. Learn more here.

3. Piggyback. If the recipient has a page on Facebook, Caringbridge or LotsaHelpingHands, ask the page owner to post VoiceQuilt dialing instructions.

4. Share Early and Often. Many recipients tell us that hearing a portion of the VoiceQuilt before a medical procedure is calming. Just download the messages you have so far as an MP3 file and play it on your digital audio player. You can continue to collect additional messages as more friends call in.
