Heart for Hands

22nd February, is World Encephalitis Day! As a survivor
myself, this project is in honor of all the carers and supporters
who give their time to helping with the huge task of rebuilding
lives, robbed by encephalitis.
The long road to recovery, the patience needed, and the struggle
to accept the new way of life seem endless.
This oven mitt, represents the hands that help and the hearts
that are forever grateful for this.

Thank you for telling your story. In my little corner of America, I hadn’t heard of what encephalitis did to a survivors. I didn’t even know there were survivors.I had only heard it hit children the hardest and they rarely survived. There was an awareness after hurricanes because of the mosquito population surge but it sort of fizzled out after that. Anyways, thank you for speaking up and providing this lovely tangible remembrance of those who helped you along the way of recovery. I love your tutorials.

Thank you for your kind words. At the time I had it, I was one of very few survivors globally, and no treatment was available. No MRI's etc. But my cameraman, husband, was my carer. He did a great job, with our two very small children at the time, raising them for quite a few years. I am glad you enjoy the tutorials, it's so worth the effort when people respond as you have.
