At Milly’s Smiles we have a wonderful team of knitters from across the whole of the country. They sit quietly in the background, not asking for anything just wanting to support us in the best way they can.
One lovely lady is Debbie who has knitted a total of 128 elephants for us over the last few years, which is just incredible. Debbie came to the unit this week to bring her latest herd and she told us why she finds it so rewarding supporting us….
“Milly’s Smiles provided us with a touch of comfort just when our family needed it the most, during the difficult time when my granddaughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Their thoughtful bag contained everything my son, his wife and their daughter needed for their hospital stay.
The support we received was incredible, and knitting more rainbow elephants is the least my daughter and I can do”
Milly’s Smiles feel very blessed to have this support, the elephants are the first thing to be seen when the Milly Bag is opened and we know they are loved by everyone no matter what their age they are.
If anyone is interested in knitting for us the link to the pattern can be found on the website. If any of our knitters would like to get in touch to tell us their story we would love to tell it for them.
