Children Miracle Network Hospitals

"More than 10 million kids enter a children’s hospital like your local children's hospital across North America every year. To provide the best care for kids, children’s hospitals rely on donations and community support, as Medicaid and insurance programs do not fully cover the cost of care. Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has helped fill those funding gaps by raising more than $5 billion, most of it $1 at a time through Miracle Balloon icon campaigns. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit’s mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible."

The Blood Bag Project

"The Blood Bag Project, a craft project that aims to raise awareness of the rare blood condition Diamond Blackfan Anaemia.

The project has been set up by textile artist Leigh Bowser, whose young niece Chloe suffers from Diamond Blackfan Anaemia and wants to encourage people to donate blood. Chloe’s main source of help is through blood donation. However, Leigh is unable to give blood herself and understands she’s not alone. This project is for those who want to help the blood cause by donating in another way.

The Blood Bag Project is about raising awareness and is not a charity, but does hope to raise a little money along the way!"
