Hats for Kids in Need
Thank you Carol C for this thoughtful donation of crocheted hats. The kids receiving them will be not only warm, but happy. Kids without warm clothing don't get to play outside with their friends at recess. Kids need to play with their friends so these hats will go a long way helping them be part of the group. We have many schools in the area where many of homeless live under bridges and near the shelters so even while homeless and in need these kids still try to attend school. The weather's getting ugly with dark, damp days and nights and warm items are such a blessing.
Thank you Carol for your thoughtfulness. I've tried locating Carol C through facebook, twitter, here on the blog, as well as many searches through my emails unsuccessfully. I'm not able to tell you where Carol's from; but keep hoping .......Carol if you're out there, please make contact with me. You can leave a comment here on the blog with your email and or send a private note through the contact me area in the right sidebar.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
HI CAROL.. thanks so much for the beautiful hats. They will be appreciated by every child lucky enough to get them.
ReplyDeleteDont be afraid to come forward and take credit for your lovely work. I felt the same way when I came here for the first time and just wanted to do something for someone without needing a thank you.. We would all like to welcome you and thank you for helping the homeless and hear from you on a regular basis on the blog if you can. In any case, Thank you and God bless you and the Homeless.
Carol, nice job on the crochet hats. I like to crochet too.I agree with Marj it would be nice to see you here on the Bridge more often. Good job Carol. Rosemarie
