Chemo hats/premmie layettes

I made up several chemo hats for a benefit and missed to date to send them. I had requested starting a ministry at church to make chemo hats and items for the neo-natal unit here. That never got off the ground. I figured I could make things up and take myself. I discovered last night that a church member is taking treatments at the cancer center here. She is going to take what hats I have made. As the weather is getting colder, I'm going to use my leftover yarn to make up some more to send.
My husband will be so happy to see some of this yarn leaving the house. What he doesn't know is that just makes room for more.
I do not have any kind of non-profit group like I've seen online. I'm just trying to help where I can. If anyone has leftover yarn you want to get rid, and help someone in need leave me a comment. If you want to make things yourself, you can find free patterns online. These patterns can only be use for personal or charity, not to profit from. Then contact your nearest cancer center, oncologist office, childrens hospital, neo-Natal unit. They are happy to receive these things.
Let give you a little background on these patients. Cancer patients typically are not the wealthy people, that's not to say the rich don't get cancer, they are usually not in your local area. These people spend their life savings for treatment. Their insurance companies either drop them, or they max out their insurance. Hats aren't the only thing needed, they can use trach scarves,and gloves. These things aren't just for warmth, it reminds these patients that there are people in their community that cares.
The neo-natal units are full of pre-term and sick newborns. They spend anywhere from a couple weeks to months in the hospital. These units need blankets, hats, booties, mitts, scent dolls, burial gowns, eye covers.
If you decide to made items and donate them, you can always put a note or card with each one to let them know you care and are praying for them. These things are like giving each one a hug.
