U.S. News New Jersey: Providing a Comfort Zone; Children With AIDS Get Their Own QuiltsDecember 26, 2007 On Dec. 20, quilters from the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Berkeley Heights presented personalized quilts to five children with HIV/AIDS at St. Clare's Home for Children. The home opened 20 years ago and, with two facilities added since then, it has sheltered more than 950 children with HIV/AIDS. Some of the children there now will enter foster care and some will be placed with a parent, said Daria Romankow, who started the Westminster quilters group with Abbie Christie. "Each quilt has the child's name on it so he or she can take it with him when he leaves St. Clare's," Romankow said. "More importantly, we hope the babies feel the love that went into every stitch."
