To her delight, and beyond her expectations, the individuals enlisted in this project donated 100 lovely hats and scarves.  It is evident that those involved in this noteworthy activity did not just simply fulfill an obligation, but rather, made every endeavor to produce beautiful, high quality handcrafted items, on a completely volunteer basis.

There is no doubt that this initiative exemplifies the knitters' willingness to help and shows how they care about their fellow counterparts, as one of the knitters from Belgium, who spared no effort, and included a wig, wrote: "I am always happy to lend a hand and support a worthy cause.  Moreover, despite the fact that I sell the hats that I make, in this case, I decided not to sell them, but instead, to contribute them to this noble cause."


To date, shipments have arrived from Belgium and France, and hats have recently arrived from the United Kingdom as well.
