Lucy and her siblings were left to fend for themselves when both her parents passed away and her grandmother refused to take care of them. When war intensified in Northern Uganda, Lucy and her siblings relocated to a Gulu town suburb where she then eloped with a man who later abandoned her and their children. Not being able to financially support her and her children, she joined the KK Uganda family and is now looking at life with hope.

DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“I want to buy a plot of land for my two children and to educate them to the highest level possible!”

WHAT MAKES CROCHETING ENJOYABLE  
“Crocheting is easier than digging in the garden. I learned new skills in crocheting and that is where I earn my living.”

MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“May God bless you abundantly for it was through you that I realize positive change in my life. God touched you in a special way and you, in turn, touched me in a special way!”

Thank you so much for the hard work you put into making the small fox animal that I purchased. It is for my cousin who is having a baby in a couple of months and it is so beautiful. I can tell the time and love that you put into it and we appreciate it so much. I hope you are having a great Christmas and holiday season and wishing you the very best for your family. Your children are lucky to have such a hard-working mother like yourself. Thank you for everything you do and we are sending you lots of love from Northern California!

Dear Lucy,
It was such a joy to receive my beautiful knit hat, and the raisin colour is gorgeous! I have red hair so it will be perfect, and the weather in Washington DC is finally cooling off, so I cannot wait to keep warm this winter with your creation. Thank you for blessing your customers with your talent and I pray that God will continue to bless you and your children. You are an incredible example of strength and grace for them, as well as for all of us who have the joy of learning your story. I will think and pray for you every time I wear my lovely hat.

We love the hat you made ! It is so cute on my 2 year old little girl. We love how soft it is and the cute, little flower on it .
Thank you so much for your beautiful handiwork. Today I gave a hat that you made to my friends daughter as a gift, and she loves her hat too! God bless you and your family. I'm sorry you have had such a difficult life there, I feel guilty sometimes as an American having such an easy life. May you be blessed by our Heavenly Father and continue to earn a living making beautiful things :)
