Hi my name is Sonia Leigh. I am hoping to start making Craft Bags of Love to give out on the cancer wards for adults patients. While I was a patient at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham on the cancer wards for a very rare cancer Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, crafting was my lifeline as I did not have many visitors being further away from home. I took lots of small craft kits in to keep me busy. It really helps with mindfulness too and I made lots of little gifts for the staff and patients too. Other patients loved seeing what I was making and also wanted to try the crafts. So I thought it would be nice to make some crafting bags up to give out on the wards. I have been contacting lots of my crafting contacts but I also thought I would ask my friends and the general public for help too. I asked If you have any unopened craft kits you no longer want please consider donating them to me. They have to be unopened due to infection risks. These can even include free gifts that are attached to magazines. Then a few people asked if I had a Go Fund me page so they could donate money to help me buy new kits if they had none at home to donate. So this is now my new page. Together hopefully this will help pass the time for other patients on the wards too. If this takes off I would like to give to as many hospitals as possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
