It is so exciting I have barely slept in days; not all committee members even know about it to the full extent until all the ground work is completed.
All I can say is that we have a huge secret and we're not telling!

Very soon we will have a joint national media release with a very respected organization over the coming weeks about a joint project with our charity that will be permanent and ongoing. It is so exciting I have barely slept in days; not all committee members even know about it to the full extent until all the ground work is completed. All I can say is that we have a huge secret and we're not telling! (Maree) Do you have a heap of Careflight Bears that you no longer want and have them stored away somewhere? We would absolutely LOVE all that you don't want for our trauma toy collection for our donations of trauma toys to police, fire, ambulance and rescue squads in NSW. If you are near Wetherill Park in Sydney, Dubbo, Grenfell, Forbes, Young or Orange - we can get you free freight delivery to us via Cowra Freight if you have a lot to donate. Doesn't matter which one you donate as they will all have wonderful new homes with children who will cling to them for love and comfort in their worst hours. WE NOW DONATE TRAUMA TOYS FREE OF CHARGE TO: 1. Police 2. Police rescue 3. Volunteer Rescue Squads 4. Town Fire Brigades 5. Rural Rire Brigades 6. NSW Ambulance 7. Women & Children's Crisis Care Centres (aka Refuges) 8. Preemie Babies In rural NSW especially Central West NSW, Riverina, Outback Northern NSW.

HOSPITAL HATS AND BOOTEES * Any colour accepted except grey * Have tons of under 1 pound and small preemie but currently need heaps of medium and large preemie and newborn. * If you can't make bootees, just the hats will do as we can pair them up easily with booties. Same with bootees. * We currently have plenty of 30 x 30 blankets but if you have crocheted granny squares (large) or crocheted 30 x 30 blankets to send, I can easily turn them into funeral beds for under 1lb my end after I photograph your donation. * Even if some item is in excess, I can always use it for something else in the packs. * Any pattern welcome, the more unusual and fun the better so check out Ravelry patterns. Animal hats, flower hats, Lala Loopy hats - whatever you want to do, please feel free to do it BUT have fun doing it! Please note that there are millions of FREE & pay for patterns on Ravelry to use. The ones you have to pay for are extremely inexpensive from $1.00 to $12.00. This particular aviator hat was created for our Careflight packs by Jess Lane (NSW) |
