Diane and Megan are a mother-daughter team that love to knit and
crochet (actually, Megan does both; Mom just crochets!). We are
a homeschool family that truly enjoys volunteering and being in
service to others. You can read more about our homeschooling,
Megan, and our family by clicking here.

| Our newest volunteers are from the Tallmadge Country Study Club and the Tallmadge Library Knit & Crochet Club in Ohio. These wonderful ladies have made for us countless blanket squares and beautiful baby blankets, precious baby quilts, and wonderful washcloths for the children our ministry serves. We are so blessed to have these ladies helping us in our mission. Thank you to Tobi Battista, Judi Orsine, Ruth Schreiber, and Linda Hoff. |
We currently have 40+ volunteers and/or donors. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you who are
helping us in our mission to bring love, warmth, and hope to children in need. We couldn't do it without you!

We've been truly blessed by a host of wonderful volunteers who help us in our mission, the first of which were Megan's
best friends, Ashley and Avery. Then Diane recruited her best friend Deidra (Ashely and Avery's mom) to help, too!
