A Little About Maddie

I am an 8-year-old that lives in Chicago. My favorite color is green. I LOVE the series "Chronicles of Narnia." I plan to change the world. And I call this "Hands of Hope" because it gives people overseas hope. I have brown hair and brown eyes. AND I LOVE KNITTING.

My Hands of Hope Journey

My Aunt Denise commissioned me to make her a headband and it has also been on my mind to help the world be a better place.

 Feed My Starving Children made me think of starting Hands of Hope because it's just so inspirational for me to help the world.

All of a sudden I thought that I actually could change the world by knitting. My plan is to raise money to help sponsor another child from World Vision because one Christmas my dad told me that I could sponsor a child and I sponsor a child named Florence. I want Jackson, my brother, to sponsor a child, too because I want him to have a giving heart, too.

 So then I planned to raise $100 at the end of the year and my family said that if I can raise $100 then I can let Jackson sponsor a child. I'm going to raise $100 by knitting headbands, bookmarks, bracelets and some other things, too.

If you buy anything thank you for helping me make the world a different place.

    I have subscribed to your blog, Maddie, and look forward to hearing about your journey. I love to knit, too! Sometimes I make caps to donate to the hospital for cancer patients or premature babies. I love your idea and hope you make your goal.
    Love,
    Your Aunt Barb that you've never met..... (But I feel like I know you!)
