How much does a smile cost? When you are a child who has to face a life changing experience, a smile can be very hard to come by. Hospitals in themselves can be very scary places; full of sick and injured people. Nurses and doctors try to bring colour into the room by wearing colourful or patterned scrubs; parents and family members bring in flowers and familiar items. We hope that our pillowcases let children know that people care about them; a little gift from a total stranger.
There are many children in different situations who could use this same gift. Children in orphanages or children who are removed from their homes could equally benefit from having something they can hold on to and bring with them everywhere they move to. It is only a small group of children who we are trying to reach but many more could use a smile.
We make bright and fun pillowcases for children undergoing long term hospital care. We hope that this small contribution will brighten up a child's environment and put an all important smile on their face. We rely heavily on our kind and generous sponsors, and are truly grateful for any donations of handmade pillowcases, fabric or money to help us continue our effort.
