Dear Team Yarn,
Thank you so much for the bundle of beautiful hats and for hand delivering them! It was so fun to see the kids involved! Our patients will benefit greatly as fall is nearing and then the Minnesota winter is close behind! Thank you for your generosity and your talent!
Warmly,
Susan
"These are gorgeous. Oh, my goodness," remarked Maria as she passed by.
Susan observed that it can be cold in the areas where patients are treated, and these items (120 hats, two scarves, 4 blankets and two mittens) will help keep people warm. It's fitting that our donations contribute in that way, helping Woodwinds maintain the reputation they're known for. Susan moved from Abbot to Woodwinds last November. "This is such a warm environment. It was a good change," she stated.
In a day at Woodwinds, there are:
- 60 patients in for infusions
- 24 in the clinic
- 15 in radiation
The goal at Woodwinds is to have a connected, one-level area where all but the most specialized of care can be accessed, providing a seamless care experience for patients and better communication among care providers. Towards this end, the infusion center will be moved from where it is now to the new addition next year.
This was the third time we have donated to Woodwinds Hospital. Click here to view past donations. It has been nearly four years since Amy's mom, Cheryl, passed away from a rare form of cancer, and 3 1/2 years since Team Yarn was born. "When she passed away, I desperately wanted something to do with my hands," Amy recalled. We continue to share this story with all the people we meet, letting them know what drives us forward. We let folks known that our team stretches across the nation, and nearly all of the yarn we use is donated. "People are great," stated Amy. "People want to help, but alot don't know what to do." When they come to Team Yarn, they realize what they can accomplish with the group.
Some of the upcoming offerings at Woodwinds include:
