Wheelchair Bags for Children's Pediatric Rehabilitation Patients
You could use your sewing skills to help us help Kids. Most kids admitted for rehabilitation due to a head injury or surgery, for example, will use a wheelchair throughout their stay at Children's Hospital. In order to keep their toys and belongings with them when they go to therapy or other places in the hospital, they need specially sized bags that fit over the backs of the wheelchairs. We like to give each child a new bag that becomes his or her own. The kids usually wish to take the bags with them when they leave. In order to have enough bags for everyone, we need help making them.
