I was just with an amazing group of women - part of a Bible study and women who are encouragement to each other. We were each given a hat by our leader who had been to visit you in Uganda. Wow - what a gift. We were all so blessed by your work and the work of Krochet Kids. Please continue knowing that you are constructing more than hats. You are building relationships between you and the people who wear them and encouraging a sisterhood that goes beyond our borders and places on this earth. When I wear my hat I will think of you and your family - may you be blessed in all you do.

Hi Monica,
My beautiful sage green hat sits on my head every cold winter day here in Mead WA. I especially like to wear it to cold football games when I watch my sons, Sam & Zach play. It is warming up now so I will put it away for another winter season. The tag in my hat just reads"monica" so please thank ALL the monicas that you know for creating such wonderful hats for us here in the U.S.
Love to you and may God bless you in all your hard work supporting you and your family. Ruth in the bible comes to mind. She is like you and other Monicas...working hard to help herself and her family. She is a inspiration in my life as I learn to obey God by continually striving to help support my husband & sons financially.
hugs,
Kim

Today I recieved the beautiful hat you made for my 29th birthday! Last Summer I came to Uganda and I visited the Krochet Kids compound with my church from California, Rockharbor. We sang and danced and had a wonderful time with you ladies. I took a video of us singing and I watch it all of the time because it makes me smile. I think you are so strong and amazing. Your children are so blessed to have such an inspirational mother! Everytime I wear my hat I will remember you. You will always be in my prayers. May God bless you and your family!
