A long overdue update from Quinn's Quest, and an apology for my recent absence. The past year has brought immense personal challenges, including navigating profound grief after losing both Quinn and my mother-in-law to the same insidious disease, all while in postpartum after having a baby. It's been a time of deep processing and healing.
I read something the other day that really resonated with me. Grief can make you reactive; and that was me after Quinn passed. I was happy if I was busy but it wasn’t contributing to my healing in fact it was making it worse.
I have also learnt with grieving we can only do our best.
Now, it's time to put one foot in front of the other and recommit to Quinn's Quest in a meaningful way. We've had some setbacks, including delays with our shirt production due to personal tragedy faced by our local supplier – a reminder of how interconnected we all are. We remain committed to supporting local small businesses, especially those near Logan Hospital.
URGENT NEED: Our stock at Logan Hospital is incredibly low! The cupboard is almost bare, with only storybooks remaining.
This year, our biggest task is to collect as many small and larger toys as possible to replenish the cupboard. We also urgently need to replenish vouchers for families, parents, and caregivers whose children are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Every little bit counts!
Our first collection date is March 8th. I will announce a second date shortly, likely about a month later. Details to follow.
I look forward to seeing you all there – old friends and new supporters! Thank you for your continued visits and messages on the Quinn's Quest page. I am wholeheartedly committed to getting us back on track this year.
Thank you for your incredible patience and understanding as I've navigated through some very difficult times.
Love you, Quinny. . Doing it for you. Thinking of you daily. ❤️
