Brave Children Rainbow Knit

I finished a batch of Rainbow knitted garments & blankets for our local Hillingdon Hospital Rainbow Children's day unit and delivered to Sister. The staff highly delighted. It is entirely the decision of Sister to sell, raffle to raise funds for the unit or give to the children as she wishes. All with my love for the brave children especially those on chemo to win over cancer. 

I shared with the staff the story of my Palestinian nurse that I have mentored through his BSc Nursing.. he has MSc in Public health and nursed in oncology. He has work published in the European Journal of Oncology Nursing. I shared how he is with Medicin sans Frontiere and his wife had a baby daughter in March. I would if possible be knitting for their baby but impossible to get any personal parcels to them in Gaza. I wanted to dedicate my gift in a knowledgement of my nurse, wife and his daughter Zainah in their need for survival.  Staff were touched as there is always kindred spirit bonds with nurses around the world. They, as we all do wish safety & survival in horrendous situations. We as health professionals value life, we see disease and accidents threaten & take life, so hurts us all when there are conflicts that take life on mass scale. With this destroy homes and families. It is frustrating not to get this madness to stop and unable to get to help care for injured. 

 

With Rainbows there is always a feeling of hope & upliftment
