A friend helps at a drop in centre for refugees and asylum seekers. Two of the women are pregnant, and are finding it very difficult to prepare for the arrival of their babies because money is so tight.
I keep a box under my bed of finished knitting and crochet projects. These are things made to give away to who ever needs them There's two crochet blankets in that box, just waiting to be sent to my friend. My hope is that these baby blankets will be a little sign of hope. It's nice to get something brand new for a baby, and to know someone has put hours of work into making it. I hope they will not just be used to keep babies warm, but be treasured.
Also being added to the blankets are 10 pairs of socks and knickers for small children. These were bought to be sent to refugees in Greece, but we got the got the timings wrong and the shipment had been sent. They were bought for children who were in difficult situations. What does it matter if they are in Greece, or England! Every child deserves to be loved, and to have clothes.
