"Watching the news from my home country of Italy was painful and alarming, as the coronavirus took hold in the area where I grew up.

 

Having family there and around the world made me feel helpless.​ Like many others, I wanted to do something to help.

 

Looking around, I found the Sewing for Our NHS Facebook group... and I was inspired!​ 

I put out a post and in hours I was overwhelmed by people's kindness. 

I was not alone: people needed something to focus on, something to make them feel useful in the midst of this unreal situation.

 

​Sacha soon jumped on board, and the two of us then reached out to our contacts and within weeks our group had grown from 2 to 40 people.​

 

In time we discovered the North and East London Sewers - For the Love of Scrubs Facebook group and joined forces,

this collaboration has being very important and successful."​
