Previously, Aida would sell juice on the street – her outgoing personality and joyful spirit helped her sell her products but in the end, she wasn’t earning enough money to cover the expenses of her household. Now that she has a consistent income, she is busy preparing for a future as a restaurant owner. She wants to leverage her positive attitude and knowledge of food preparation to start a restaurant for the local construction workers.

Aida, I am a high school teacher in Florida. I just noticed the tag on my hat and went to the website to look you up. I showed your picture to my class of students and read your bio to them. My class is full of students who speak Spanish and are learning English. They loved hearing about how you want your children to learn English too so that they get good jobs. I love my hat more than ever now and feel a connection to you. Thank you for knitting my hat! I hope you got your restaurant. If you did not yet, please do not give up on your dream. I am smiling and hope you smile all the days of your life.

Dear Aida,

I LOVE my head wrap! I got it in the mail just a few days ago and I don't want to take it off. Your story is so powerful and your picture is so beautiful. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your job. I pray that you get to open a restaurant one day and that your children can get a good education. I am a literature and theatre teacher here in Chicago so I know how important school is! May the Lord bless you and keep you this Christmas season. Thank you again so much!! Peace, joy, and hope. xoxo

Dear Aida,

Thank you for making the small "Davis Jr." beanie. We needed it for my son's first camping trip in the forrest. It feels so special knowing you helped make it versus some machine equipment at a factory. I was happy to hear about your goals and aspirations. Blessings to you and your family from California, USA.

Love, The Eckert Family

I bought a head band, which would be good now in the cold days, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!

I wish you and your family a happy Christmas (if you celebrate this) and a peaceful New Year! Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job. Definitely not the last time I'll order from Krochet Kids.

May all your dreams come true! I really hope you'll be able to start a restaurant and that you're children get the good education.

I'm so happy to know that it was made by such a good person. Your hard work inspires me!

Aida,
Thank you so much for making me a hat! You did a really good job making it.
I purchased "the brady" in grey. It looks like the same one you are wearing in your picture!
Every time I look at your name on the inside of my hat I will pray for you and your family!

Thank you and God bless you Aida!
