Kindness has no age limits, and this man definitely shows that! This 86-year-old man decided to learn how to knit, so he can make hats for premature babies. It doesn’t get much better than this.
Ed Moseley
Ed Moseley is a retired engineer. He lives at the Dogwood Forest assisted living facility in Acworth, Georgia. Only a few months ago, they challenged their residents to knit wool hats for babies born early. Ed didn’t know how to knit but felt like he needed to do this project.
So, he taught himself how to knit! He discussed this interest with his daughter and asked for her help. She then got him all the supplies that he needed, along with instructions. He slowly started to learn the process.
Atlanta Hospital
Combined, they were able to give over 300 hats to the neonatal intensive care unit at Atlanta’s Northside Hospital. Out of those 300 hats, Ed completed 55.
Atlanta’s Northside Hospital delivers more babies than any other hospital in the United States. Sometimes they can deliver more than 2,000 premature babies in a given year.
Moms and their babies who receive these hats are more than grateful. It helps them to recover and stay warm while doing so.
This was the same hospital that Ed was also receiving chemotherapy for his cancer.
