Last week, we sent our third pallet of 20 Milly Bags over to Kamran’s Ward at Oxford Children’s Hospital, and we’re so pleased to say it arrived safely and without a hitch!
The bags were collected from the main entrance by the wonderful staff and taken straight up to the ward, ready to be given to families arriving on the ward for the very first time.
It was especially lovely to receive a message from the Ward Manager, who shared with us that when she walked into the four-bedded bay, “every child was using something from their Milly Bag. Two were brand-new patients and two a couple of months into treatment. We have also had lots of lovely feedback about them; the families are very, very grateful.”
Hearing this means the world to us. Knowing that Milly’s Smiles is able to make a difference at a time when families feel that their entire world has collapsed is why we continue this important work, we are humbled to be able to support so many families every single day.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who makes this possible, we know that what we do is very much a team effort, and we could not make the difference we do without such widespread incredible support.
