Below is our current Wish List needs:
- Bed Alarm Pads
- Steno/Legal pads
- Cheap kitty litter (to dispose of old/discontinued medications)
- Gallon-sized Ziploc baggies
- Travel neck pillows (to help with positioning)
- Lysol disinfectant wipes
Why does Hospice need that?
Many of the items on our Wish List fulfill an obvious need. Others, however, require a little explanation.
Why would you need travel neck pillows?
Travel neck pillows are helpful in adjusting positions for people who are in bed. They help to alleviate the pressure of certain positions and provide comfort.
Do donated items really need to be new?
YES! Due to health and safety concerns and standards, there just isn’t any way around that.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We want to give our most heartfelt and humble thanks to everyone who has responded to our call for items from our Hospice Wish List! The past few months have seen an extraordinary show of support from our community that we could not have anticipated. More than we could have expected, we received deliveries of pens, note pads, storage bags, body washes and skin lotions, face masks, and so much more!
What also touched our hearts was all of the amazing people who spent their own time and resources to knit and crochet the most beautiful full-size and lap-size blankets for the use of our patients. So evidently made with love, these connections of caring have been priceless. As a result of your generosity, we enough to use for months to come – a wonderful position for us to be in! We will let you know when blankets will be needed again.
You will notice that our Wish List is presently a lot shorter than it has been in the past. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to meet these needs! Hospice exists to support our community, but it couldn’t exist without the support of our community! Thank You!
If you would like to assist our patients with a donation, items must be new, as we cannot accept used items. Our Amazon Wish List is at www.hospicecny.org/hospice-wish-list/. If you have any questions please call us at (315) 634-1100.
