Barbara
donated 12 scarf hats and 4 chemo carseat pillows to Epic Care in Dublin today.
One staff member gave her a huge hug! She was so appreciative of all our
donations. She even asked for our contact information, which Barbara provided
and she also directed them to our blog. The other staff member modeled one of
the summer hats. They said we're the only ones donating to them and their
patients are very happy to find our donations when they come for treatment! We
will donate knitted hats to them when the weather cools down, again.
Thanks to our group, we're really
putting smiles on these recipients faces!
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.
