Knitters wanted

[hubblebubbles]

We have been asked by a local rehabilitation centre we support if we can help ten children from extremely poor families. Amongst other items they are in need of jumpers and obviously need at least  two each for the winter. The children are aged between 8 and 12 and we would be so grateful if any knitters could possibly help us with this . We have seen what they are wearing at this present time and believe me it would make such a difference to them to have warm clothing. They all suffer from some sort of medical problem which is why they attend the rehabilitation centre so by doing this we could at least ease some of their suffering by providing them with decent clothing. Please help if you can. We are trying to sort out the other items they need .  Many thanks for reading this and even more thanks if you can help .

I do so hope there are knitters out there to help. Warm clothing is something we all take for granted and these poor souls are just asking for 2 warm jumpers. An ill divided world indeed.

Is it possible to send a donation to buy some sweaters, can knit, can purchase from Asda, but the cost of postage will be prohibitive, if they ever get there, very happy to donate money for a jumper or two.

Same here, maybe setup a PayPal account for donations Mavis, just a thought.

Many thanks you good people for replying and I am trying to get something sorted about payments and will contact you. We are very grateful for your offers of help . xx

Mavis, how many of the younger children are there as the 3C's have some lovely new hand knitted jumpers which have been made for us by our band of UK knitters,  that we would willingly give to the youngsters if they are the right sizes.  Unfortunately,  we do not think that they will  fit the older children but if you can give us an idea of the ages and sizes (and sex as we have some pretty girlie colours) we can try and sort some out for them.   Please let us know.

I'm happy to do some for the children, if there is someone I can post them to who could pass them on to the right place.

What ages am I looking at to knit for?

Hi Mavis, I can knit and am happy to do so, however, I'm no good without a pattern - I'll leave it with you

I also asked on Facebook and as a surprise but welcome development, we have offers of donations of wool, plenty of wool, from people who would like to help but can't knit.

So if anyone over there can take that wool and create little jumpers, please make yourself known  

Embrace are a lovely little charity, helping change lives over there. They perhaps don't get the publicity 3Cs and AA generate but they quietly get on with their fabulous work.
