I created Hats for Hope as a way for me to be able to give back and maybe help someone’s life be a little brighter. I was inspired to give to others after meeting Dr. Diane Dike who is willing to risk her life just to tell people that they are loved. I first learned to crochet hats when I wanted to do something for someone who already did so much. I then wanted to expand and make hats that I could donate to people who may need one, especially to people who are fighting cancer. I soon learned that I could not afford to only make hats to donate, which is when I decided to start selling my hats in order to continue donating. I know that God gave me this gift and ability to make hats and I am going to continue to use it to give back to Him by giving back to others. For every hat I sell I make another one to donate. Most of my hats are donated to hospitals and cancer centers to give to patients who have cancer. I also donate my hats to someone who may not be able to afford a hat or be able to afford a gift for a loved one. I am hoping one day to expand my efforts to be able to help more people and to be able to send something to our troops fighting for our freedom over seas.
All of my hats are 100% hand made including the embroidery. I do sell some pre-made hats at craft fairs, but my main focus is custom making a hat to someone’s specifications. I am working on posting my order form and a downloadable version of my catalogue so that anyone can share my hats with anyone else. If you are interested in ordering a hat from me please e-mail me at melissashatsforhope@gmail.com. Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. God Bless you.
