That is just great. Maybe doing things like this, we can change the outlook of the world on the rest of us.

It is so rewarding to hear stories like this.

It is great to hear the positive outcome.

That's so wonderful to hear that there are so many dedicated people helping others in need. I find that I don't have space any more and am giving away all my 30+ years of crochet supplies, magazines, etc. so I've had to discontinue most of my crochet projects.

Oh, yes, thank you for sharing that, Miss Crochet. That's the second affirmation this week that I've read of the direct impact of our crocheting, and how it really does change lives. You're right, it may not seem like much, but it really is powerful. A little yarn, a couple of hours, a life. How humbling. How inspiring.

I haven't given up donating money to my favorite causes at all. But I still like the intimate connection of something going from my hands to someone's lap (a blanket) or neck (a scarf, as in this case). Doubling the warmth provided.

Good for you! And perhaps you'll inspire another crocheter to join you. If not, that makes you the Indispensable Sole Crocheter.
