CAN YOU HELP???
Can you help our group of ladies? We knit and crochet blankets, jumpers, hats, scarves, gloves and socks for people in Romania, Moldovia and the Ukraine. There is a desperate need for warm clothing and blankets in these desperately needy areas where war has stripped people of many of the basic needs we take for granted.. Our group is always needing more supplies as we work all year round β we can use up your odd balls or part-balls or even bigger quantities that can make a jumper. We have willing hands but are constantly needing fresh supplies of wool/acrylic. If you can help, we will be very grateful. Just ring me, Pat, on 021-057-0371 and I will arrange to pick up any quantities you may wish to donate.
