And more baby hats...

Sixty-five baby hats and ten headbands

were delivered on 9/15 to Kaiser Walnut Creek Maternity Ward.  The nurses were thrilled as usual to receive the beautiful donation and three of them quickly took two boy and one girl hat to babies who had just been delivered.  They again emphasized how much the new parents LOVE the hats and how appreciative they are to us.

Thank you Karing Knitters!

Introducing....

The Castro Valley "branch" of the Karing Knitters

These knitters meet 2x month in Castro Valley at Cafe 4. They enjoy the beautiful space while knitting for charity. Some of them  knit and some of them loom. Either way, they contribute to the many needs in the community.

Kaiser Maternity

Much to the delight of the Kaiser Maternity nurses and many wows and thank yous, Karing Knitters donated 60 baby hats and 8 headbands on July 21, 2018. They wanted to make sure that all of the Knitters know how much the nurses and patients LOVE our donations.

Delivered 149 baby hats!

We delivered 126 baby hats +23 Fourth of July themed hats to Kaiser Walnut Creek during the night shift on July 25, 2018. Prior to delivering the hats we went into the waiting room and one of the women there was waiting for twins to be born so she selected a pink hat for one and a blue crocheted hat for the other - she was thrilled! The other family chose a hat for their new baby boy and we’re also appreciative. Two adorable little girls were waiting for their brother to be born and they each selected a hat and were so happy. They put their hats in their separate purses to bring to their new baby brother. The nurses were also very complementary about the hats and said how much they appreciated receiving them. Thank you Karing Knitters for your continual donations.

A Wonderful Surprise

While knitting on 6/5/18, we saw a father with his 6 month old son sitting in the cafe where we regularly meet. He noticed we were knitting and we asked him if his baby was born at Kaiser WC, and coincidentally he was plus he received one of our cute baby hats!! He then told me that he was sure we didn’t realize how powerful it was to receive the hat. “We’re all so exhausted and out of it after going through the birthing process and to receive a baby hat brings us back to reality, allows us to return to reality and move forward”. He couldn’t thank us enough and wanted us to know how deeply appreciated we are!
