I am writing this post to ask for help. That’s right, I can’t do it alone. For over a decade now my husband and I have been supporting the Lily of the Valley orphanages in Mexico. There are 3 total (so far). 1 is located in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and 2 others are located in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Each Christmas I like to coordinate a Hat and scarf drive for the children of the orphanages. This is a chance for children to receive a new hat and scarf set made with love. This year once again I am running the drive. We are in need of hats and scarfs for both sexes and for ages Infant to 18 years of age.
You can make any style of hat. It can be crochet, knit, loom, or sewn. Our goal is to receive 800 sets. This will ensure that each child will receive a set. I would also like to request baby blankets (approximately 33 x 35 inches) or lap afghans for the younger children. Many people seem surprised to learn that Mexico has some very cold regions. Not every part is tropical. I hope you will consider participating.
