Giving Back
kj - 05:17am Nov 18, 2005 ESTI have been trying to get help from friends and family to get things for the NICU my son was in. They did so much for us that I need to give back to them as a way of saying thank you and to also help me heal. The problem is, no one is helping. I have hand painted 60 Christmas ornaments and have started knitting hats and tying blankets, but I can't do it all. I would love to be able to go into a buisness and ask for donations but, they would think I'm a scammer or something.... Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

kj, consider teaming up with other local groups who make/do things. For example, there are often groups of knitters and quilters who make blankets and hats. Scout troops often lend a hand. They bring materials with them, so together, everyone can rally around the NICU without any one person having to stretch their resources too far. They often already have contacts with crafts stores etc. Tap into that good energy! For blankets, check out http://www.projectlinus.org
