Adelaida (or, “Adele” as her friends call her) was forced to drop out of middle school to take care of her little sister. Both her mother and father had to work, so she stepped up to help her family. Adele easily has one of the most contagious smiles of our group in Peru and is a great joy to be around. She is happy that she now has a job that allows her to meet her family’s needs.

MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT PERU
“The most beautiful thing about Peru is Macchu Pichu. And the beaches!”

Adelaida,

I am so thankful for my beautiful beanie! I don't know how you get it to fit so snug but it's perfect. I received the cap as a gift from my boyfriend this Christmas (2012) and I cannot wait to gift my friends and family with other lovely Krochet Kids products. They really are an amazing company and I am so glad to be a little part in this great cause. I wish you all the best and for lots of success and happiness for you and your family in this life! <3

P.S. I love the beach, too!

Adelaida,

I was very happy when I received my beanie today. Not just because it looks good, but because it is made with love and that you are provided with an opportunity of a better life with each beanie you make. I am so thankful you took the time out of your day to make this for me. I pray blessings upon you and your family. God will provide all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus!

Adelaida,
I have been very blessed by one of the hats which your skillful fingers made. When I saw this beanie, I was immediately drawn to it and I have been wearing it and receiving compliments on it ever since. I have a heart for Peru (I have been there five times) and I have only ever worn Krochetkids beanies. I just want to thank you for your work and I pray that God blesses you and your hard work!
Peace, love and blessings.

Adelaida thank you sooooo much I am completely head over heels with my Eisley hat. It came just in time before all the winter snow we are about to get up here in Ohio. You are a beautiful young lady and I cannot thank you enough. This is my second time buying a hat from this organization and I am spreading the word about these magnificent creations you ladies are making. Every time I put on this hat I think about you and wishing one day I can thank you in person for the amazing artwork that you have created

Hi Adela, thank you so much! I was at the Krochet Kids booth for at least half an hour trying to pick out a winter hat -- and I almost got something else, but just loved your beanie too much to leave it, so I changed my mind at the last minute. And I don't regret it at all! You are doing wonderful work. Thank you again!
With love,
Linde

Thank you so much Adelaida! I am a singer/songwriter in America and caught a little cold the other night after a rehearsal. I went to Nordstroms and found your hat. I know this will keep me warm and help me not to get sick so my voice is in top condition! As a thanks aside from buying your hat here is my website if you have access to internet. I would love to share my music with you! www.brittanybeaudry.com. Thats my old name. But you can call me Falcon Rhodes. Again thanks for the hat. Its warm, comfy and beautiful!

Adele,
I received the blue, Eisley hat that you made, for valentine's day. I love it! It's so soft and I love the color. It is so meaningful to see your name written on the tag inside. Keep up the good work! Thanks again!

Adele! I have never been so grateful for a gift in my life! Out of all the things I got for my birthday and Christmas this was the best gift because it was the most meaningful. I am spreading the story to anyone that will listen. I wear the hat everyday, I have a krochet kids tag on my bag and a sticker on my longboard. I wish the best for you and I truly believe in karma. I believe that if you out good in you get good out. Keep doing what your doing. Life isn't about changing the world, its about the impact that you leave on every person you encounter. Your story is an inspiration. Thank you :)

Adelaida, I do not think I could thank you or the many other women who you work with enough for making such amazing hats (and more)!! I heard about Krochet Kids and actually got a hat for everyone in my family and three of them were made by you!!! We love them SO much and to be honest it is not only one of the most comfortable hats I have ever worn but it is also my favorite :) I pray that things continue to get better for you throughout your life :) Keep your chin up and that beautiful smile on your face :) Thank you again and I hope that in my future purchases I continue to receive your work!!

Gracias and God Bless!!

I hope that the Lord blesses you and your family through this organization and I pray that you will eventually make your dream of nursing and teaching a reality.

Adelaida,
Thank you so much for the hat you crocheted for me. It's really neat to know that I have a hat that is hand made by someone I don't even know. I hope you are doing well and KKi is helping to provide for your family. I am praying that God continues to bless you and I hope I get to receive one of your products in the future.

God Bless!

Adelaida,
Thank you so much for the hat. It truely is a work of art. I can't wait to wear it out, or in, all year round. I'm so glad I am now a part of the KK family of supporters and I am looking forward to witnessing the great change this simple act of kindness, on the part of the KK founders, will create in Peru as well as Uganda. Keep on smiling and working towards your education in education and nursing, you truely are a remarkable woman and KK is lucky to have you, just as I am lucky to now own a hat made by you.
