For the past 5 years, the wonderful Jo Kirman has been hand-making bonding hearts and memory bags for families on Leighton Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) 💜
Using fabric from old ward curtains, Jo creates these special keepsakes to bring comfort to parents during some of the toughest moments. Her journey began through personal connections to NICU – and she’s never stopped giving back.
✨ Jo shared:
“It was so humbling to meet a mum and her little boy who thanked me for the hearts and bags – it really inspires me to keep making more. The nurses do an amazing job, along with all the staff supporting them.”
We’re so grateful to Jo for her kindness, creativity, and dedication. Her handmade gifts remind families that they are never alone 💜
