Au Pair in America au pairs learned to make lavender sachets for cancer patients throughout the cancer support community, including Norma Pfriem Breast Care Center and the CT Challenge Center in Southport on Wednesday night April 3, 2013 at a little square in Fairfield. Owner of the unusual children’s boutique and creator of the Pink Pom Pom Project, Alexandra Wallace-Currie taught them how to create the pleasing fragrant bags that help patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments to relax.
The Pink Pom Pom Project was started by Alex two years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Creating crafts for herself and others became her solace and passion. Alex has helped many similar patients by hosting crafting events and parties at her retail store to teach others to make sachets, frames, belts, hair accessories, knitted blankets and hats to donate to the sick. a little square, located at 1981 Post Road in Fairfield, sells unique children’s clothing, accessories and toys and a percentage of the profits goes to those battling illness.
The Westport and Fairfield au pairs had a wonderful time creating colorful sachets and funky picture frames to give to the Bridgeport Hospital patients, as well as gifts to their own host families.
