Alice, Thanks for posting this. I re-posted over at DudeCraft. Maybe we can get as many cranes for Jen as showed up for Killian.

Best,

Paul

I have just recently learnt how to make these origami cranes and have made several pretty hanging ones, I will definitely send some to her, it's such a lovely idea!

Thank you Paul and Shelly!

AHH! this is so beautiful! i will mail some cranes!!! thanks alice for the heads up!

What a lovely idea! I especially like that the site has instructions on how to fold them, cuz I don't know how. No better time or cause to learn, methinks! Thanks for posting the link.

When my sister-in-law had her brain surgery a Japanese friend of the family made her 1000 cranes. I can't promise it was the cranes, and she's a long way from her former self, but 5 years after suffering numerous strokes on the operating table etc. her daughter now has a wee baby brother. Best wishes.

I had a few cranes left over from making my sons mobile - I've just sent them off to her :)

It's a very beautiful idea to give someone support and hope in a difficult time.

I did the same and received many crane donations from a friends class. They had an origami day and the children donated their cranes to my cause.

Perhaps you could do the same or have an origami night to fold and share stories with one another.

Also, a lovely display could be a mobile or large picture frame decorated with the cranes to display a picture and a message of hope and support that they can always see.
