Knit for Good 2023 Knitathon

We can all agree on the power of collaboration to overcome these challenging times. We can work together towards a common goal: to help create healthier communities. At Project Knitwell, when we teach those facing stressful challenges how to knit, we create more community and comfort with each rhythmic stitch. Our primary mission is to help people facing challenges by providing knitting instruction and shared community opportunities that promote wellness and resilience.

I will knit a row for each dollar of support to make a difference in the lives of those facing stress. Help Project Knitwell teach the comfort of knitting to more people facing challenging circumstances by sponsoring my Knitathon on March 18.

As a 9 year old, I learned to knit from my grandmother as she was facing treatment for cancer. She found comfort in teaching me a new lifelong skill. They say the helper is helped, and this was a true example. I am now grateful to share this skill to bring comfort to more people!

Donations in any amount will go a long way to help Project Knitwell knit with a purpose: wellness, comfort, and community.

• Wellness: Knitting allows me to recalibrate each day and find a moment to pause and reflect on my day. This practice helps me build resilience in the face of uncertainty.
• Comfort: The colors and textures of the yarn bring me joy! The soothing rhythmic stitches provide a sense of satisfaction.
• Community: I am grateful for the reward of a finished item I can share with others while learning from a diverse community of knitters.

I have seen first-hand the value knitting provides to my own mental health and wellbeing, as well as the impact it has on those we serve who are facing challenging situations. It is why I am committed to expanding the reach of this organization as Executive Director.

Your support will provide more quality supplies and instruction to those who need it the most! You're making a real difference for parents of sick kids, cancer patients, nurses and other caregivers, those affected by homelessness, at-risk teens, refugees, active duty and deployed service members and their families, and many others.
