Charitable Donations 2020-2023
Hopeful Stitches began as a small effort to help my community during the Covid-19 crisis.  After teaching myself how to sew face masks, I grew my talent as a seamstress and ran a curbside stand out front of my home with a sign that read, "Take what you need. Pay what you can." and sold over 1,240 masks.
