sorry about the text only, but i need some help...

a couple months ago, a good friend of mine was diagnosed with leukemia. she's 11 years old (i was her nanny since she was 5, for about 6 years on and off, so she's really like a sister or cousin to me).

at any rate, she's going in for a bone marrow transplant this month, and her support community has started an inspiration calendar. everyday, for the course of her transplant and recovery (a couple months) people have signed up to send her something in the mail, numbering the package, which she'll open in order, one each day. she's very adamant that she doesn't want any gifts or flowers or balloons or any money spent on her, as she'd rather have it go toward cancer research associations. so i'm kinda perplexed what to do. i was thinking maybe knitting a scarf (i already have tons of yarn, don't need to buy any)... since she lives in washington and it's gonna get chillier soon. she and her family are also very religious (i'm not so much), and i only mention that incase somebody knew of faith-based crafts?

but yeah... thoughts? something that is homemade, but not extravagant, you know what i mean?

thanks!!
