Good Works 10 Hour Project
My friend and I are doing our good works project together. We are adapting onesies. To donate to a local hospital. When a baby is in the hospital it is hard on the family. Uncertainty about the child's health and seeing them hooked up to IV’s and other medical devices makes it difficult to hold and comfort the baby and even dress the baby. When my sister was in the hospital she often times was just wrapped in a blanket because it was too hard to dress her with everything she was attached to. We were so happy the first time she was able to wear clothes. To dress Jenny the nurse would have to take down the the IV's and tubes and feed them throughh the clothes sleeves. It took a long time and we spent lots of time untangling her. Then she would get sick and short time later and we would have to do it all over again to undress her. We started modifying her clothes so that they would be easier to put on. It was good to see her in clothes because it made her seem little more “normal” and less sick. My service project is to modify onesies and donate them to Mercy NICU and PICU for the families of sick children. They will be able to dress their babies and feel a little better about the stressful situation they are in.
We are asking Walmart to donate the clothes and supplies to do the project.
