That is a very sad story especially when you assume the time consuming beautiful quilts are being given to children in need. I had a similar incident-my mom was in a nursing home for 2 yrs before she passed and I took out gift cards to 3 nurses with a long thank you note for each of them for all of their good care they gave my mother while a patient there. I went out to deliver the notes personally and ask for the ladies and the one nurse said "oh-I will take them and give the cards to them". In the pocket the cards went and I never heard anything after that. I feel the gift cards were kept by the one nurse and never handed out. It happens I guess. So sorry to hear of your dilemma.
