Children face intimidating situations all the time, and learning about ‘courage’ and to be ‘brave’ can help give them strength to face a challenge and frightening situation. Many children present to the Emergency Department at the Children’s Hospital and need lots of positive encouragement and reassurance that everything is going to be ok when they are faced with illness and treatment at the hospital. To help the children with the concept of courage and being brave whilst at hospital, The Brave Heart Challenge has been developed.
The Handmade with Love Project invites sewers from all over Australia to ‘make and donate’ Soft Toys and Snuggle and Care Quilts to the Children’s Hospital. In order to provide something special to a greater number of children I am asking people to ‘make and donate’ little Brave Heart Soft Toys to the Project.
I am challenging each person to ‘make & donate’ 10 Brave Hearts which will go to 10 brave children at the Hospital so they know that their courage has been recoginsed and that they have a ‘brave heart’. The children will be able to hang their Brave Heart in their bedroom at home, to remind them in a positive light of their bravery in hospital.
