Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

mumoffour77

Welcome back Rusty

Well done dragonllew.....you deserve it and more!! (you reap what you sow and honestly your kindness astounded me. Im still in shock!!)

Right I have posted before about my DH.....and im going to make cards for his hospital....to raise money for patient funds!! DH is a "resident" in the hospital and they do so much for him, when I cant be there, they take him out to the cinema....walks....shopping.....and they do this with all their residents!! Yesterday when i was up with the children they had admitted a youngish boy around 18/19...and they were looking for things for him to do...and they had nothing....my DS was going to give him his nintendo game but it was out of charge and we had no charger!! The young boy had no speech (due to a Traumatic Brain Injury) and it got me thinking about what I could give back!! I have given nappy cakes in for the hospital to raffle and the raised some money...but not everyone has babies IYKWIM.....so the next best thing would be cards....do a variety of them and place a stand at reception...(I know the girls on the desk would happily sell them and allocate the money to the appropiate coffers:) The nurses would also do this too!!
Then i was thinking even more.....maybe I could go up and show some of the more able patients/residents how to make cards!! It would give me something to do and help them help themselves!
What do you all think?
