Ajok Joyce,

Thank you so much for making us a stocking ornament! We were surprised when it came in our order and we love it! What a nice touch. This was our first Christmas as a married couple and your ornament helped decorate our little tree! Be encouraged today. I read your story, and i know you will be able to do what you have set out to accomplish. We will pray for you today. We will ask God to look after your family. Thank you again for the stocking. Continue to make good things. Your work is blessing other people.

Hello, Ajok Joyce:
Thank you so much for crocheting the beautiful hat I received! My name is Linda and I live in Spokane, Washington, USA. It is extremely cold here now and there is deep snow everywhere. And that's why I am going to enjoy wearing the hat you made! When I wear the hat, I will think of you and pray for you. I am sure you are an inspiration to your family as you provide for them. I, too, am a born-again believer in Christ and a mom who loves her children -- five of them, one girl and four boys. How I pray that you will be able to provide the education that you dream of for your children! Some day our Savior will take us home to Heaven to be with Him and I will get to meet you there and spend eternity with you, praising Him! God bless you abundantly and thank you again for your hard work!!
Your sister in Christ, Linda

Hi Ajok Joyce, my name is Kate and I live in New York City. I have been fighting cancer for a few years now and this last treatment has caused my hair to fall out. I used to have long blonde beautiful hair and I had been feeling a bit insecure by my balding head. That was until I received your hat as a gift. I love my new beanie so much. Thank you for not only making something so beautiful to keep my head warm, but for giving me a bit of self confidence back! My prayers are with you and you family!

Thank you so much Joyce for your skill, your talent, your perseverance, and your faith. This hat is beautiful and I truly love it, but far beyond that I love that I have a connection to a sister in Christ on the other side of the world. You will be in my prayers, dear sister. My ma and I sponsor 3 children in Uganda through Compassion International and I pray that they are surrounded by people of faith, just like you, as they grow. May the Lord provide for them as He has provided for you. Thank you again and again for this truly beautiful piece of workmanship, you are deeply talented. God bless you and your efforts.

Dear Joyce,
After searching high and low for the perfect hat to no avail I thought I was going to have to give up. That was until I laid my eyes on yours! It's chunky soft texture and neutral color was exactly what I was searching for and it fit just right. I fell in love with it before I even knew anything about the krochet kids project. After examining the hat closer I found a hand written tag inside with your name on it. I brought it up to the cashier to find out what the tag was all about and she told me about KKI. Of course now after learning about this great cause I am even more in love with my new hat! I look forward to purchasing more hats and have been encouraging my friends to do the same. I feel blessed to have an opportunity to be a part of your life even if it's just in this tiny little way as you have become a part of mine. Thank you so much for your beautiful handiwork! I will think of you and your family while wearing my hat wherever I go! xo

Dear Joyce,
I love your hat so much that I decided to buy it without knowing anything about K Kids. The store clerk then told me the story behind Krochet Kids while I was checking out and this made me love it even more. I couldn't wait to get home and look you up! Now my 9 year old daughter has taken over my hat, so it must be time for another hat. Best wishes for you and your family! Thank you!!! Megan (& Allison)
