Sadly children continue to get diagnosed with cancer even at Christmas time, so in December we headed over to Leeds Children’s Hospital with 20 more Milly Bags for Wards L31,32 and 33.
As always we were met by the wonderful Elaine who looked very festive in her Christmas top. We have been working with Elaine for many years now and she is meticulous at ensuring all new families receive a Milly Bag as soon as they arrive on the ward, she also takes responsibility for reordering more stock when needed.
Elaine is the most amazing lady I’ve ever had the honor of getting to know. She made our stay so warm in the bad times my son was going through . We were so thankful for a millies smiles bag in our stay and we still cherish it to this day . You are amazing all of you. Ward L31 mum.
The most special and important thing we ever received at the most horrendous time. 3.5 years since starting treatment this blanket is still my sons comfort. Ward L31 mum.
These bags are amazing. Elsie and I loved the blanket through our hospital stays , especially when in the isolation rooms , it kept us cosy. I always feel sad though as I know each bag will tell a story to another family and child going through the most horrific journey. Ward L31 mum.
Whilst we were at the hospital we made a quick visit onto the transplant ward to hand over some of our Bone Marrow Journals for their transplant families. We look forward to receiving feedback from the families later next year.
We feel very humbled that we are able to provide this support to so many children and families going through one of the most difficult times imaginable, and for that we thank everyone who continues to support us.
