Mercede’s Hat Shop & Comfort Kits
Mercede‘s Hat Shop is a large bin on wheels that is filled with hats of all shapes and sizes. On the day that the kids fighting cancer start losing their hair from chemo, Mercede‘s Hat Shop is rolled into their hospital rooms. They are allowed to pick out as many hats as they want. The hats help to take away the fear that these kids have about losing their hair.
Mercede‘s Comfort Kits are large tote bags filled with items that will make a child that is in the hospital frequently or for long amounts of time feel more comfortable. The items in each bag are: a soft blanket, a stuffed animal to snuggle, a water bottle, a sleeping mask, ear plugs, chapstick, warm socks, an art journal and colored pencils (items vary a little according to age.) Each newly diagnosed kid will receive a comfort kit when they are admitted to the hospital.
