Happy Christmas, A Finished Quilt
Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras Description This Christmas quilt is called Happy Christmas and it was made by our very busy mother of two, Maria Isabel. Maria Isabel's resilience shines through her challenging life circumstances. As a young mother of two, she has faced significant hardships, including a son born with severe medical problems. Despite the challenges, Maria's son was born, but he faced his own health battles. He was born with an imperforate anus, requiring immediate surgery to create two openings for proper elimination. The road ahead was arduous, as Maria underwent her own kidney stone operation, leaving her children in the care of her mother. As her son grew older, he required further surgeries to correct his condition. Maria tirelessly worked to secure the funds needed for his medical expenses, engaging in exercises and treatments to help him recover. Despite financial hardships and the inability to afford necessary supplies, Maria persevered. Ho
