‘Forget me not’
Oscar, who died before he was born last year, left his Mum and Dad with some beautiful momentos - a Prayer shawl from PHNA and a felt heart for each of their pockets.In response to the PHNA and the gratitude expressed by Oscar’s parents, Tennielle and Mark, the team at PHNA have commenced packaging pink and blue Shawls and Hearts for neonatal units. Tennielle was inspired by the gifts from PHNA and has since been crafting little felt elephants with an accompanying verse to add to our Prayer shawl packs.(Leonie Rastas)
