Dear Lawack,
I bought my sister a Betty hat in a gorgeous pink color that she loves, and a purple cap I can't seem to take off my head. Your work is marvelous and know that we appreciate your dedication. I'm from nearby Kenya and I know how hard it can be back home raising children by yourself. My mom raised me alone. Keep up the good work. May God bless you. And good luck with your finance classes!

My dearest Lawach;
Thank you so much for my wonderful hat! My name is Allyssa and I live in upstate NY. I have been to Africa on two separate occasions and plan to make it quite a few more. The hat you made reminds me so much of the land I call home and it's the most amazing feeling to know that while I wear it to remind me of the continent I love (as well as keep my head warm since upstate can be pretty cold) it also helps you to be able to support your family. I hope that one day your dream of being fully independent comes true. But please keep making hats for KKI because you do it so well!
Peace and Love from across the world,
Allyssa

Thank you so much for putting so much effort and love into it!
I feel so blessed to have a piece of your work. My prayers and love goes out to you and your children.

Thank you so much. I love the hat and the near perfect of it. Every time I look at the hat and think of the fact that it is handmade. Also knowing someone took time and patience into making the hat. And the best thing of all is knowing the money for this hat goes to help people like you rather than just some company. I hope you achieve all your goals and dreams.
