FORT PIERCE — New Horizons of the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee’s Adult Stabilization Unit was recently gifted 24 handmade pillows by a group of readers and sewers in Indian River County.
The ASU will use the pillows to replace old ones.
The Book Club at the Villas of Three Oaks in Vero Beach stitched the idea up to help the unit when they learned of the ASU’s need. They took their handiwork to the next level when they constructed the pillows according to the medical grade specs the unit beds require.
“We are just thrilled to have these beautiful replacement pillows,” said Jennifer Demko. “The unit was in need and our friends at the Villas of Three Oaks really came through for us.”
The ASU, located at the non-profit’s main campus on Midway Road in Fort Pierce, is a 30-bed unit that provides adults in crisis a safe place to get treatment and regain balance in their lives. Admission to the unit is under the supervision of a physician.
The non-profit hosts eight campuses across four counties in south Florida. They provide services to more than 15,000 residents including those with little or no access to healthcare insurance.
