I am working on text that will greet families who check in at Children's Hospitals. I'm including this draft in my blog. I hope that each family will be led to the 'hope+healing' exhibition after reading the following that will be accompanied by a pin or keychain (depending on what's available in my stockpile of supplies :D ) and a map to the hospital with outline directing them to the work.
I greet you and the caregivers with you, offering encouragement as you weather through this difficult time. Enclosed is a map of the hospital with directions to where you will find an exhibition that has been created for you. It comes from our hearts, having experienced our daughter's neurosurgery at Seattle Children's (for Chiari Malformation Type 1), and a few surgeries myself (due to pelvic adhesive disease). We received so much support, encouragement, prayer and giving--all things which inspired this work and all that we are praying you will be given during this time. We would like to offer up visual encouragement to you through the 'hope+healing' body of art, which is traveling to hospitals for the same purpose. Enclosed is a 'key' containing the seven symbols of encouragement used throughout the art--an overview of the exhibiton--and a token of our encouragement that you can take with you to remember that hope is always present. In this small way we send our love and prayers for you and encourage you to experience what each piece of art means to you and your child during your journey.
If you would like to know more about the 'hope+healing' project, please go to www.marymakesartstudio.blogspot.com or marymakesart.etsy.com. Please feel free to let us know how the art has impacted you during your time at the hospital and/or let us know if your story can be used on the online blog or when we speak about the project to enocurage other families in hospitals. Thank you so much for your time.
