Homemade crafts offer hope

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. --Gandhi

Recently celebrating its one year anniversary is Craft Hope--an innovative project aimed to help others around the world. Founded by mother of three, Jade Sims, Craft Hope is designed to share the comforts of handmade, personable crafts with those in need.

Over the last year, Craft Hope has had a tremendous outpouring of support from the online community, enabling them to donate anything from handmade dolls, blankets, hats and even sock monkeys to countries in need of help all over the world: Nicaragua, India, Mexico, in their hometown of Austin, Texas, and most recently in Haiti.

Combining their love for crafting and their passion to make a difference in people's lives, the team at Craft Hope, including Sarah Jackson and Marjorie Dolley continue to generously donate their time organizing projects such as Haiti Etsy and collecting sock monkeys for a preschool burn camp.

Now onto their sixth project, Craft Hope's scope of reach continues to grow--as does their passion for making a difference around the world. Riding out their amazing success as the Haiti Etsy project comes to a close, the team is constantly looking for new craft ideas, new charities and new ways to lend a helping hand. Have a great craft idea or particular interest in a certain charity? Found out how you can get involved on Craft Hope's website and help a special cause.

A sincere congratulations from all of us at babycheeks to Craft Hope's incredible success. Your devotion and willingness to help others is truly inspiring!
