We are currently working on 200 sets for NSW Ambulance in red and white if anyone would like to help asap please?
If you can sew but can't knit, we have a wonderful pattern we can give you for free to do red and white smocks (any pattern but no other colours. Can be all red though and white flannel or fleece inside). Or if you can knit and or crochet you are welcome to make the hats and bootees for us in any pattern, even really fun character ones (No Disney please).
We need hats and bootee sets in small, medium, large preemie and newborn.
Currently we are also searching for healthy snacks and food for two care packs - one to go to Careflight NSW and one to go to Careflight NT for the NETS crews that help the Bush Babies.
I have started packing about 20 sets for hospital babies at Goulburn but we still have to get confirmation on the hospital maternity unit as we have been told it is closing and the unit transferred to Canberra.
We are on the final leg of this month's collection for the Dubbo Refuge as per their list we have supplied. It will be sent off in 2-3 weeks.
Tuesday the Cowra Guardian will be doing an interview with us at the Sportsman's Expresso Bar in the Cowra Coles Complex. The bar owners want to do a toy fundraiser and anyone wishing to donate a soft toy, gets a free small coffee.
The newspaper would only agree on giving us publicity if I showed them all the packs I make up for hospitals, Ambulance, Careflight etc. I will not be doing a care box up or refuge box for them to photograph, only baby sets.
