Peggy delivered 30 baby hats to Kaiser Walnut Creek on 9/11 which
included 3 military fatigue patterns. As she was walking toward the Labor
and Maternity Ward, a young man was following her and she asked if he was a new
Dad. He said, "almost", he and his wife had been at the
hospital for 3 days! I asked him if he'd like to choose a hat for his
baby and suggested a military one since it was 9/11 but he opted instead for a
light/dark blue hat. Then I asked a couple (grandparents) who were
waiting for their daughter to give birth if they'd like a hat. Again,
they opted for a blue and gold hat since their daughter went to Cal instead of
the military one. Once I took the rest of the hats to the nursing station and
told the nurses that I had 3 military hats, they were thrilled and said they'd
give them to each of the 3 boys who were just born in the last two hours.
It is September and time to pat ourselves on the back again. To date we have made and donated:
2206 hats (chemo and baby)
508 scarves
and for chemo patients:
67 seat belt cushions
66 drainage bags.
Happy Birthday to Us!
