last week in my creJJtion inbox, there was a theme
~ charity ~
two dear ladies approached me with a request for a special cause

thank you Karen and Agnes for inquiring me regarding this special purpose of creJJtion blankets
I highly appreciate it
and, I am very honored you picked creJJtion blankets for your beautiful charity projects!
~
Agnes approached me with her request to use the Blue Sky blanket pattern for a special project in Nepal
she came across the Noble House project,
which currently consists of two shelter homes for kids, and one baby and birth clinic
~
Karen approached me with her request to use the Miami City blanket pattern for a special project in the UK
CLIC Sargent, among other things, provides temporary housing for families of children with cancer
I am truly touched and honored to be approached for creJJtion's contribution to these beautiful projects
to me it means a lot that my designs get the chance to contribute to a project and organization
that mean to help babies and families in need across the world
~
I could not let go of this idea and decided to do a little more
there are two blankets that I made and would love to donate in order to help a baby or child that could use it
candy blanket and sailor blanket
consider this a variation to the give away concept that you, my blog friends, are all familiar with
if you know of a wonderful charity project for new babies and moms, that can use one of these two blankets
please let me know by leaving a comment to this post before Monday
a local or far away project or organization close to your heart, that would benefit from these blankets
~
let's contribute in our own and humble way to help make this beautiful world a better one for everyone
I would love to hear from you
Hi,
ReplyDeleteA charity very close to my heart is the Watoto baby project http://www.watoto.com/projects/the-watoto-model/baby-watoto

What a beautiful idea Maaike! I don't know any specific charity abroad, but I know that the units in hospitals that deal with premature babies often take gifts for the bubs. My grandma used to knit booties and bonnets for one in Australia for 30 or 40 years.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to know that something you've created is being used for a grander purpose. We were in Nepal last summer during the rainy season. Yikes! But what a trip it was. Such poverty and living conditions that we can't even imagine. Children walking all day long just to get to and from school, yet despite conditions, they always wore neatly pressed, clean clothes. It was amazing, eye opening, saddening at times. Your charity blankets are so bright and beautiful. Blessings to you as you continue to create such lovely handiwork. Tammy
ReplyDeletewat een mooi initiatief Maaike! Moeten die dekentjes bepaalde afmetingen hebben? ik wil er ook wel eentje of meer haken en schenken.

I drop off charity knits via one of the LYS.
I love your blankets!
