Stickman HMSA awareness/fundraising products by Hannah Ensor

Just done an order for cards etc. Great products.

Hi Hannah,

Does this include the toilet and nurse? And will they fit on Tasha's key ring set (set of cards with different messages on that children can use to explain their needs to others) that we bought previously?

I cant tell you all enough how good Hannah's products are. I buy them myself for my daughter and for me. I use some of them as examples when I go to different schools (and give them a form for Hannah's shop).

Hannah donates a percentage of her sales to the HMSA each month. It really makes a difference and also she designs our logos as well.

Yes it does include the Nurse and Bathroom cards Donna - and they are compatible with all the existing cards so you can order whichever ones you want and then slot them onto the keyring she already has.

They also include cards covering: explanations of POTS and HMS, fainting, pain, sensory overload, brain fog and more.

Oooh didn't see the sensory overload one, that is something I really struggle with. Will order some when I get some money

[madmum]

Got my goods today....SO IMPRESSED. Well done hannah. Will be ordering more.

Thank you Madmum - I received your second order too.
Sheppy - I like that one - it's one that I will be buying for myself

I've really enjoyed creating the new Communication Card designs. Because there have been times when I wish I could have had them in the past - and because sometimes it is hard to know how to say something without sounding stroppy/nasty - like 'SHUT UP' can now be replaced with a wave of the zombie card

And if anyone has suggestions for new cards, do let me know, cos I plan to periodically release new ones. Esp re autism, aspergers, ASD, ADHD cos I reckon they could be a real help for kids, teens - and adults too. But I need people to tell me what situations they need them for, so I can make things that work.

One to show to doctors.....No it really does hurt,I am not mad or making it up. My son is really impressed,some of my order are for him to use at school. If we have them will show to school nurse when we meet on the 19th to try to get more help.

Was wondering something about a bendy bladder needing the loo sooner?

The new set of communication cards are now available. These include ones specifically explaining HMS/EDS and POTS, as well as various pain, joint problems, fatigue, digestive issues, sensory overload cards. And for most cards 10p is donated to the HMSA Remember that as these cards are on a keyring, they can be removed or added to as you wish.

(P.S. I won't be surprised if I have to make new ones soon, so do continue coming up with cards you might like.)

On Saturday 14th July from 11:00am for a few hours I will be doing a book signing in Waterstones at The Oracle, Reading. The books on sale includes "You know you've been pushing it when..." with it's blurb about the HMSA, and £1 donated to the HMSA for each one sold.

Also, on wednesday 18th July, from 10:00 til 2:00 I will be in the reception area of the oxford Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (my local hospital) manning a stickman stall - with, of course, lots of stickman products which raise money for the HMSA, the HMSA collection tin - and hopefully lots of curious people who ask 'so what's wrong with you?' so I can educate both staff and visitors

I guess I'll be being part 'Author and illustrator' and part 'HMSA Patron for Kids and Teens'

Exciting times

[madmum]
