Hi, Ajok
Thank you so much for making my beanie! I'm a 14 year old girl and beanies are a really big trend now. Also, it's really well made and such a pretty color. I hope to travel to Africa one day with my family, and Uganda always interested me. I hope one day you will get to go to school and fufill all your dreams:)
Sincerely,

Dear Ajok Monica,

I purchased one of your hats today and I absolutely love it. I live in Colorado, USA and it is about to get very cold here this winter! I will wear this hat and think of you :) I used to live in Botswana, Africa for two years and I am happy to support an organization that will help women like you accomplish their goals.

Love,

Dear Ajok Monica,

My friends came to visit me and presented me with one of the hats you have crocheted. It's a dark teal beanie, a beautiful blue-green. I'm in the hospital recovering from injuries after being pushed in front of a train. For the past few months, it's been hard to feel beautiful, but the hat you made makes me feel stylish once more. (: Your craftsmanship is lovely, and I look forward to wearing your hat for years to come!

I wish you the best of luck in making your dreams a reality.

Thank you,
Maya

Hey Monica! Thanks for making me and other people in the world the 5207.5!!!!! I hope you and your family will have very good luck, education, and hope you start your goat!!!! :) My WHOLE family wants a hat made by you and was wondering if we could request the hat from you so we would have the same hat maker. <3 How i found out about this was my teacher (P.S. I'm from Arvada, Colorado very cold!) anyway, i found out about this by my teacher and she got the Thomas. I will wear this HOT hat for the winter and for our trip to outdoor lab. I am only twelve but I know what you have gone though with losing your brother :( i lost my dad last year (November 7, 2010) i hope that didn't make you sad i want this to make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside! :) I love hats and when I heard about Krochet Kids I just HAD to get a hat. So, i went online looking for what hat i wanted and I told my dad I wanted the 5207.5 for my birthday. Well, he didn't get it for me but my aunt did! When I got it I just had to wear it right away! All in all thank you and even though I have never met you love you hope you the best of wishes you will be in my heart forver and allways! <3

Thank You!!! Your an amazing person and your story will be told worldwide because of your craftsmanship with KK. I work at a daycare with the same initials as KK and when my hat arrived the children thought it was for the daycare..which led me to explain where the hat came from which led to them learning the word Africa(all the children are 4 and under) and are able to show it on the map..your story and campaign teaches everyone, no matter age something special....Again thank you so much.

I am a college student in Pennsylvania and I just recieved my hat in the mail today and I love it so much! I came straight home and read your story and i am so inspired by you. I am currently in the division of agricultural studies at Penn State University. I hope my small contribution will help you to pursue your goals as well. Whenever I wear my hat, I will think of you and pray that you continue to do well and i will. When I am asked where I purchased my hat, I will tell your story. Thank you so much, good luck and do not give up on your dream.
