Aol Betty,

Thank you for the beautiful work you do! I just bought a lovely hat you made and was so delighted to see both your name and picture on it; because even more than the hat itself, it's a gift just to know a part of your story! To see the hope in your smile and know that every pain can be redeemed is something I pray you will only continue to find more true every day. And every time I wear the hat know that I truly am praying for you--that you would be sure of how deeply you and your family are loved by the One Who made you and holds you together and that nothing is impossible for Him. You are a brave woman and I'm grateful for you!

With much love,
Rachel Kelly

Hi Aol Betty :) I'm so glad that I found your hat sitting on a shelf today. I've been wanting to do volunteer in order to help the tragedies happening all over Africa and Uganda has always been one of my main visiting grounds. This is a beautiful pink colored beanie and I am ever so grateful to own such a piece of beauty. I wish nothing but peace, prosperity and love in your household and for your family. Thank you dear Aol, you are quite amazing and your story inspires not only me but others to help even if it starts with a hat.

Dear Aol Betty,
I bought a hat for my daughter Trinity who is eleven. She has long hair that I usually keep in cornrows and she loves to wear hats.
The black hat you made is so wonderfully made and thick and I love it. It does my heart good to be able to thank the person who made.

May God bless you and your children. I myself have 4 children of my own and I know how it is to worry about providing for my kids. Please be encouraged for God is always with you.
