It is the brainchild of Becky Pace Bajona and began with just a few members gathering together in the meeting hub crocheting lap blankets for the elderly made from donated wool dropped off at Jacob\u2019s Brew and today with the help of fellow founder member Valerie Mckay the group has grown to 30 talented ladies who dedicate their time selflessly to crafting items for charity.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">To date they have donated items not just to several retirement homes, but also to YMCA, HOSPICE MALTA, PASSI &amp; BEYOND and AURORA SUPPORT SERVICES. With many other projects in the pipeline there is no stopping these amazing ladies.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">One such project is the theYARN BOOBIES; an idea that came about at a meeting with Cancer support group AURORA when Craft&amp;Coffee For Charity were offering crocheted PAMPER POUCHES to them at their pamper sessions for cancer patients undergoing treatment at Oncology. They had shown Becky a sample yarn boobie which apparently are used in UK and America to fill out bras of breast cancer patients after undergoing mastectomies.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">After a trial Yarn Boobie was successfully tried and tested, the ladies at CCC decided to crochet even more Yarn Boobies (20 to date) and will be launching them here in Malta on Monday 29th October at our coffee shop Jacob\u2019s Brew, distributing them to breast cancer survivors in collaboration with AURORA, EUROPA DONNA and ABCF support groups.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Working together for the good we can all make a difference \ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">For further enquiries kindly contact us here or call us at Jacob\u2019s Brew on 21637259<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Jacob\u2019s Brew besides donating a percentage of our profits to our NGO Survivors Malta to help fund projects to better the lives of families facing trauma, we also encourage other entities\/NGO\u2019s to use our back room at the shop (our meeting hub) for support meetings and other community activities.
