St. Mary's Home.
Superintendent : Nurse E. A. Carter. To the Friends of St. Mary's •Home, Napier: . -
Dear Friends,—-; I -wonder if- any of you have any iron or wooden ren's cots to spare? We have been asked to help m the. many case^ of present distress, by taking m children of sick- mothers. who ;have -had to go to hospital. . There- was no. one to care for the children, and ..in some cases it meant, the husband. staying home from work to mind them, or locking them up alone m the house, whilst he went' to- work! We have tfaken m five , of these children, but having already seven of * our, owty we have filled all the cots. One child had to sleep on a mdtt^^^on/ the floor for a'' few days. ; "SHfe^m^'left, but we cannot help by taking ; iu any more unless^ we have. cots. We have plenty of bassinnettes, but we heed cots, a few blankets would be acceptable too, also pieces of mackintosh. I know you will help us.
