Please please help xxxxxxxxx
One of my best friends works For the NHS and is frontline
With this awful virus out there she is asking for the following

if anyone is able to knit or crochet some little red hearts. The patients that die in ICU are not allowed their family with them and so they want to put a little heart with the body and send a duplicate heart out with a card to the families. If you know anyone that can do this. Please ask and then I can pick them up or they can be delivered to me.

This has touched me right down to the bones like nothing else has so far.

Hey, Guys and Ladies, I'm awaiting the size advise.

I'll be back.

'kaaaaaaay, this here's the skinny = Hi the hearts should be on the small side about the size of a coaster, one stays with the deceased and another gets sent to the family. Thank you for your help kind regards Alison.

Coaster = beer mat - about 3 - 3.5" or so.
