Helpende Hand en die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) snoer kragte saam om prosteses vir vroue wat hul borste weens borskanker verloor het, te brei.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie doel van Helpende Hand se jaarlikse Breinaald-projek is om mense se liefde en vermo\u00eb om te brei en te hekel, aan te wend om \u2019n verskil in die gemeenskap te maak. Ons het in 2021 vroetelmoue vir mense met demensie of Alzheimers se siekte gemaak. In samewerking met Kansa en die FroueVonds pak ons vanjaar die Brei-vir-Kansa-projek onder die vaandel van #Boesemvriendinne aan,\u201d s\u00ea Alisha de Lange, streekorganiseerder by Solidariteit Helpende Hand in die Wes-Kaap. Die FroueVonds (met opset verkeerd gespel om te beklemtoon dat alles nie altyd reg verloop nie) is in 2019 binne Helpende Hand gestig om vroue te bemagtig.<\/p>\n
De Lange s\u00ea die publiek kan van nou af tot Oktober saam met flukse Helpende Hand-vrywilligers en seniors landwyd brei dat dit klap.<\/p>\n
Die prosteses word gebrei om \u2019n verskil te maak in die lewe van vroue met borskanker wat nie silikoonprostese of \u2019n borsrekonstruksieoperasie kan bekostig nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie projek l\u00ea my baie na aan die hart. Dis moeilik om iemand op die vermoeiende, lang pad van borskanker te sien stap. Ten spyte van al die emosionele en geestelike op- en afdraandes wat met die siekte gepaard gaan, is dit vir \u2019n vrou traumaties om haar hare \u00e9n haar borste te verloor. Ons wil die pad makliker maak en die lyding verlig met \u2019n straaltjie hoop in die vorm van \u2019n gebreide bors-prostese. So ploeg ons terug om aan vroue met borskanker \u2019n stukkie van hul vrouwees, en natuurlik ook hoop, terug te gee,\u201d s\u00ea De Lange.<\/p>\n
Gerda Strauss, hoof van dienste by Kansa, s\u00ea hulle is trots om deur hierdie \u201cwonderlike inisiatief\u201d met Helpende Hand \u2019n vennootskap te vorm om pasi\u00ebnte met borskanker sodoende te ondersteun.<\/p>\n
\u201cElke prostese wat ons aan \u2019n borskankerpasi\u00ebnt skenk, word opreg waardeer en herstel hierdie vroue se waardigheid,\u201d s\u00ea Strauss.<\/p>\n
Die algehele koste van die pakket wat benodig word om een prostese te brei, is R60. Dit bevat sintetiese wol, opvul-materiaal asook die patroon om die prostese te brei of te hekel. Hierdie pakkies word dan na enige vrywilliger of lid van die publiek wat wil saambrei, versprei. <\/p>\n
Helpend Hand gaan in Oktober, wat ook Borskankermaand is, die prosteses by Kansa-kantore landwyd oorhandig om dit aan vroue te versprei wat dit benodig.<\/p>\n
