Everyone is familiar with the Pink Ribbon, but this is an Orange Ribbon – the ribbon for Leukemia.  What follows is an unabashed political statement.

An acquaintance of my mother-in-law lost his job and along with it, his family’s health insurance.  Subsequently his wife was diagnosed with Leukemia.  The family now faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.  There is a fundraising auction this weekend with dozens of donated services and goods.  This is my small contribution to the effort.   What industrialized country would allow this family to enter bankruptcy in order to cover medical expenses?   Shame on Us!

Here are two pieces, obviously from the same pattern, but each Magen David conveys a different mood.  They make beautiful additions to the windows alongside your front door.  They are available individually or in a set.  Please feel free to comment and to pass this link on to a friend.

These pieces measure 10 inches by 17 inches.
