I will make a time table and create time to crochet the beanies. I will also consider ways of encouraging them emotionally to make sure that they develop a strong will to live despite the challenges.
The patients were much encouraged. They developed high self esteem. The beanies definitely put a smile on their faces and they felt well cared for.

1. Time for crocheting. I had to create time and reduce my play time.
2. Resources - getting yarn for crocheting all the beanies was not that easy. However, I had to sell some beanies to get more money for the yarn.
3. Booking the hospital appointment - It was challenging due to Covid - 19 restrictions, however I did manage to meet the doctor and a few patients, though I would have loved to meet many more patients.

Step 4 SHARE
I shared with my school mates during a school assembly. Majority of them were unaware of the predicament faced by the cancer patients. They encouraged me to continue with my course and even promised to join me in my future pursuits in battling cancer.

I hope to get more resources from well wishers in order to reach out to more patients both financially and emotionally. I will look out for a willing people to support me as I endeavour to reach out to more people suffering from cancer.
