That includes patients, family members and staff. On a weekly basis, Helm brings in 10-to-15 hats. She\u2019s up to hundreds and counting.<\/p>\n<p>Helm knows that many of the center\u2019s patients are going through hard times. She takes extra precautions to protect vulnerable patients with compromised immune systems, individually wrapping each hat in cellophane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love helping people,\u201d Helm said. \u201cAnd I thought it would be neat to see my hats go to some of our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each handmade hat is unique, displaying various colors and a variety of patterns. Helm crochets and knits hats into messy bun beanies, pompom hats and bucket hats.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70765\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70765\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/07\/20084915\/ShaiHelm_LoneTreeMedicalCenter_6-web.webp\" alt=\"A photo of Shai Helm's handmade hats.\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A few of Shai Helm&#8217;s handmade hats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She never knows exactly why a particular hat will resonate with its new owner. Take one that she made from camouflage yarn. A male patient who enjoys hunting and often dons camouflage attire, gravitated toward that hat and took it home. According to Helm, he was \u201cextremely appreciative and very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gratitude she feels from patients, along with her love for the craft, is what keeps her going. She has no plans to stop anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I can brighten anybody\u2019s day by just a little, that\u2019s what I would like to do,\u201d said Helm.<\/p>\n<p>Helm\u2019s love for crocheting began when she was just seven years old, a skill she learned from her mom and has perfected over the years. She has since added knitting to her repertoire, using her talent to spread kindness and joy to patients.<\/p>\n<p>Helm spends hours of her personal time crocheting and knitting these hats, the time she describes as \u201crelaxing.\u201d She often crafts while watching her favorite TV shows or listening to music, providing the perfect background noise for her work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very soothing for me,\u201d Helm said of crafting. \u201cAnd if I can be productive with what I\u2019m doing in my relaxing time, why not make things for other people to enjoy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born and raised in Colorado, Helm loves a wide range of eclectic hobbies. She enjoys painting, square dancing and everything about horses. She is currently in the process of making a baby blanket, with her sixth grandchild on the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talented crafter brings joy to patients with handmade hats Patients who visit the infusion center at UCHealth Lone Tree Medical Center will notice a white basket in the lobby filled with handmade hats in a variety of shapes and colors, available to peruse and take home for free.
