1.000 paper crane project

My coworkers and I are on a mission to fold 1,000 origami paper cranes to gift to a coworker who is going thru cancer treatment right now. As of 5/4 we had 586/1000 done, we are hoping to have our goal completed by Friday

There’s about 10 of us actively folding

Those are lovely and such a wonderful way to show support and invite multiple team members to contribute.

What a wonderful gesture! Great team spirit at your place!

I also love the butterflies that snuck into the bunch of cranes.

Friends, he didn’t make it. But he did get to see the 1,000 cranes before he passed. He will live on in our hearts forever

Ohhh I am so, so sorry for your loss. You two look like two peas in a pod. I am glad he got to see your cranes and knew how much support was being sent his way during such a hard time for him. You are good people.
