He spoke to Lisa at St. Vincent's. She is the contact for The Children's Miracle Network there. Chris said she was so happy because there are many little ones leaving the hospital today, and that have left already, who didn't even have a blanket or hat! Last he saw her, she was headed upstairs to dig through our goodies :)
I think our assumption that others are donating to the hospital as well was wrong! We should think about making more since winter has only just started and there will be so many more babies without warm blankets to go home in. Then maybe we could take a field trip in to drop off the next batch?
I'm so very happy that we were able to get the blankets, booties, and hats into the hospital in time for this freezing cold weather. It's a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that those precious ones will be snuggled inside the love we put into making them! That is certainly what makes it worth while to me, nothing could be better!
Merry Christmas ladies! I'm so proud of you!
Also, I know I promised to get the blog spruced up a bit but honestly I've been so busy that I forgot! I am making it a New Year's resolution to have our new look live in the first week of 2011. Suggestions welcome! See you next week!
Yay for Chris! I imagine you're correct in your assumption that not many people donate stuff to newborns. They don't think it's needed. I agree; we should do more baby stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Chris was able to take in our newborn baby donation! So glad that the newborns will have the warmth around them when they leave the hospital in this very cold weather. God Bless the hands that made them & the parents who receive them for the new little ones! :)
