Our Purple Heart Initiative
Fri 28th Nov 2025
Do you or anyone you know like to Crochet?
We are asking for volunteers who love to crochet to help us provide comfort to families of deceased patients.
- This initiative helps to keep the memory of the deceased person close to the family.
- A pair of purple hearts and a message on a decorative card is presented in an organza bag. One of the hearts is given to the family as a keepsake to bring home with them, the other is left in the hand of their loved one. We distribute these hearts to every family we can to bring comfort.
- While we have completed over 1,000 crocheted hearts so far, we need an ongoing supply to keep this lovely initiative going.
