Handcrafted creations: "Explicit beekeepers" aim to bring joy to cancer patients through bear gifts
The Uckermark against Leukemia association, a dedicated organisation based in Germany, is making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer through various sewing projects. One such initiative is the "Comforter" project, which transforms clothing items from deceased loved ones into cuddly objects like teddy bears and pillows.
This heartwarming project aims to provide comfort and support for families who have lost loved ones. Families can request a comforter by sending clothing items along with a few lines, and the association will cover shipping costs for comforter requests. For those seeking a comforter, the contact phone number is 1522 9463274, and the email address is [email protected].
The association's reach has grown exponentially, now supplying clinics and institutions throughout Germany. They are seeking cotton fabric for creating talismans, caps, and more for children in oncology, and they welcome both children's and adults' fabric donations. Families are also asked to leave their address in the package for comforter delivery and to provide a phone number for any questions regarding the comforter.
The association encourages public cooperation and will cover shipping costs for comforter requests. If you wish to support this noble cause, consider donating materials, volunteering your time or skills, or spreading awareness about the initiative.
To donate materials, inquire about their specific needs (e.g., fabric, thread, needles, stuffing materials, etc.) and ensure that any materials meet their quality or safety requirements. If you cannot deliver items in person, ask about drop-off locations or mailing addresses.
If you have sewing skills, you might be able to contribute time to help create comforters or other items directly. Ask if they organize sewing groups or workshops where volunteers can participate.
To make a financial contribution, ask how to make a donation. Many associations accept bank transfers, online payments, or even donations via crowdfunding platforms. Your monetary donation can help purchase materials, cover project costs, or support logistics.
Lastly, help promote the initiative by sharing their mission and needs on social media or in community groups. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by cancer.
For more information, visit their website, social media pages, or local community directories related to leukemia support or sewing charity projects in Uckermark. The association is open to long-term support from partners and sponsors for the sewing project. Let's join hands in supporting the Uckermark against Leukemia association's sewing project for children in oncology and the "Comforter" project.
