Dear Everyone.
The time has come again and I have been asked repeatedly this
year if I will be undertaking 'Bears for PMH" this year.
The answer is a resounding YES....
Like last year I will be purchasing bears instead of presents
for the children that are unwell in PMH- Princess Margaret Hospital in
Western Australia. Each bear costs $8 dollars and has to be purchased new.
I will be purchasing the bears in the weeks leading up to
Christmas and will be delivering them to the hospital so the children
that are in there over Christmas have something to let them know they
are being thought of and are not alone.
Last year we blew 2012 out of the water with a whopping 330
bears. This year - 2014 - we are already at 130 bears and counting.
My aim this year is to spread this love to as many children in
the hospital that I can as well as this year children's homes where
the children need a friend and refuges where the children have had to
leave their family situations sometimes with no personal belongings.
Two years ago there was a little boy all alone in a room on his
own in the cancer ward. I was allowed to go and give him one of the
bears. He hugged it so tight and the sad face I saw when I walked in
had changed to an instant smile.
Last year we were not able to give the bears out due to the
confidentiality of the patients but we had fantastic letters of thanks
as well as drawings and a few letters from parents thanking us what we
are all doing do to bring a smile to their children's faces.
The bears to these children are more then just toys. They are
reminders that people care and they are not alone.. as they always
have their bear..
Please dig deep.. Christmas comes but once a year.
If you have any questions please contact me via email: jenniblossomz@gmail.com or here.
Thank you so much for your time and support. It means the world
to myself and the children whose lives we effect.
