After two classic Boston blizzards back-to-back, we were especially grateful for the chance to share a little extra warmth with patients and families at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Needle Little Love donated 30 hand-crocheted hats, made with acrylic yarn, in a wide range of sizes—from preemie and infant to toddler, youth, and adult (small, medium, and large). The hats were delivered to patient and family areas, and we truly appreciate Dana-Farber for welcoming this donation and allowing us to give back during the heart of winter.

Grateful for Our Care Team!
A big thank-you to the team at the Yawkey Center—especially Emily Kim, MS, CCLS, program manager of the Blum Pediatric Resource Room at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center—for welcoming this donation and helping make it possible.
