Today, I received an ornament that you made. I participated in a Secret Santa exchange online and a total stranger sent me the ornament. I love to crochet and I even teach crochet to anyone who will ask for help. The ornament is beautiful! It is red and green striped and looks like a bell shape. I had my daughter put it on the tree for me and I will show her this website so that she can see what good came from this. I am so proud of you for doing something to make your life better. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you again!

I cannot thank you enough for this beautiful headband you made. I saw it, walked by it, turned around and had to purchase it because it stuck out so much to me. I wear it proudly and you should be proud of the things you have accomplished in this wonderful thing we call life. You are such a talented woman, as many supporters have already stated, but your hard work is definitely paying off because with each item you create, you are that much closer to your goals and dreams. I wish you and your son the best in the future. You will be in my thoughts and prayers! Thank you for touching my heart!
