Who says Crochet can’t change the world!? Crocheters of all levels have the power to help promote happiness and healing by donating their time and talents to crochet for a cause.
Inspiration……
The crochet causes below give hats, booties, clothing, and blankets to preemies, sick infants, and sweet angel babies. This is a topic very near and dear to my heart, as both my younger brother and I were born 10 weeks premature and spent time in the NICU. My younger sister also delivered twins at just 25 weeks gestation. They spent months in the hospital before being discharged. I have seen, first hand, the way crochet donations can bring warmth, promote bonding, and offer comfort in times of grief.
