Hello all, I have a new gig going, and it just started YESTERDAY! Now, my best friend's grand daughter who is 11 years old, was diagnosed with 2 tumors in her brain, that turned out to be the big C.... Cancer... she is going thru some very aggressive treatment, and she has already gone thru her first bout with Chemo.... She lost all her pretty long blonde hair... She is totally bald.
So, I and a few friends, jotssad is one, decided to send her a few hats, to kind of lift her spirits.. Well, it has SNOWBALLED into a really nice project! ;D I decided that there are other kids in that hospital going thru the same, and yesterday I called the hospital and talked to the gal in charge of that Dept., and decided to send hats to ALL the kids in the Cancer ward!
I have a LOT of people with me on this too! Hey, think about it, it is hard enough for an adult, but a KID? They are so young, so innocent, and it is not easy to go thru that Chemo in the first place, so we are collecting hats for them all!
So, if any of you want to send a hat, (a new one is much nicer than a used one ) just PM me, and let me know. You can either mail them directly, or send them to me and I will mail them. One thing I did find, is that businesses will donate hats to this worthy cause.... If you know of any, ask them if they would care to donate one, and be sure to get one of their business cards.... I put them inside the hats...
Just thought I'd update you guys, and gals... It leaves such a nice warm feeling inside, (as long as it isn't outside! ) ;D
Hey, one other thing, no matter what 'problems' I THOUGHT I had, it isn't anything compared to what these kids have to go thu every day..... No way, I have NO PROBLEMS!
A hat is just a hat to some people... But, to a child who is going thru Chemo and losing their hair, it is a BIG DEAL, and will put a smile on a child that will light up a room! If anyone is interested, just let me know... I have seen it first hand.......
