Keep Spreading Hope!

Some new friends, the Olsavsky family from Ohio, sent us a box full of different hats and a scarf, all adorable and precious, made with love.

The note reads:

Hello!
My family and I came across your site and thought what a wonderful mission!
We taught ourselves how to knit and are happy to send a box full of goodies!

We are so grateful to be able to include these in our December deliveries.

So Very Thankful For Our Friends

Our good friend, Dee sent us these lovely hats, scarves, <some even in sets> and hand cozies.  All of her creations are so adorable and unique.  Though we love all the hats, we are truly impressed with the hamburger and green hoodie.

Gifts from Rhonda

We received the most adorable hats from our new friend Rhonda in Orange, California. Rhonda truly has a talent– see her wonderful Minions pictured below.

This dog hat is just so cute. Arguably one of the cutest ones we have received.

She even provided some festive Christmas hats to include in the delivery. Thank you for helping us jump start the XMAS push.

These adorable flower hats were also included in her delivery With a very special card that read:

Thank you Knitting Rays of Hope for your service.  It has been a pleasure for me to crochet hats for your foundation.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thank you Rhonda and keep up the amazing work. We hope that you will continue to send your adorable hats our way so that we can continue to include them in our deliveries. I hope that Rhonda has inspired everyone out there to get on their looms and keep making adorable creations for our Cancer Warriors.

Thank you, Kate from the bottom of our hearts!

We Wish You A Merry…

We hope that you have a Merry Christmas!  We will be a bit scarce in the online realm as we spend time with our loved ones during this holiday time.  One thing that we have learned from spreading awareness about cancer and other horrifying diseases, is how precious life is.  While we miss our loved ones who have already earned their angel wings, we hold our loved ones here on earth a little closer and tighter.  We are thankful to have you as part of our community and send love and hope your way during our online hiatus.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
~Pali & Vanessa
