Trauma Mammas Turn Pain into Care Packages
17 Sep
Summary
- Three Saskatchewan moms formed a support group for medically complex children.
- They launched Project Care to provide essential kits to families facing hospital stays.
- The kits contain toys, toiletries, and comfort items for children and parents.
Three mothers in Saskatchewan have transformed their challenging experiences into a compassionate initiative called Project Care. These women, who met while their children were receiving care at Jim Pattison Children's Hospital, bonded over the difficulties of managing medically complex conditions.
Recognizing the lack of immediate support for parents during unexpected hospital admissions, the group, self-named the 'Trauma Mammas,' developed Project Care. Their mission is to provide comforting and practical care packages to children and their families upon arrival at the hospital, often from the emergency room.
These thoughtfully assembled kits include essential items such as toiletries, snacks, toys, and even items like sunglasses for bright hospital lights. The initiative, supported by donations and community efforts, aims to ensure families do not feel alone during their hospital stays, offering a tangible sense of support during stressful times.
