The Bottles of Hope Program began in 1999 by Diane Gregoire, a polymer clay artist who had survived breast cancer and a member of the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild. While sitting for hours during treatments, she noticed all the empty medicine bottles being thrown away and the idea was born. We take these bottles, all from medications that are non-toxic, such as Heparin or sterile water, clean them, remove the tops and labels, and cover them with polymer clay. We decorate them with designs from flowers to dolls to holiday designs; anything your imagination can come up with.Patients receiving these bottles, and the staff that cares for them, are so touched by the thought behind them that they become cherished tokens of the care of strangers. Some bottles have notes inside them. These notes can be a wish for good health, poems, or inspirational messages. This is an option and not a necessity. BOH are never sold and are given anonymously. We gain satisfaction of giving to the community and touching the lives of those going through a very tough time in their lives. Please join us in keeping this wonderful program going strong.
