Hello! This is just a quick post explaining the first project
although the deadline date is rapidly approaching and I realise that I
have left the blog far too long.
I won't bother with a vast list
of excuses but I have a lot of balls to juggle, and writing things down
about Hearts and Crafts always makes me feel silly when I see it on
paper/screen. No idea why...answers on a postcard!
The
Winter Warmers project is to help the homeless of Lincoln. The idea is
to knit or crochet hats, scarves and gloves to be distributed to the
needy by the Nomad Trust. There will be a post about the Nomad Trust
coming up so I won't go into detail here.
If you, or
someone you know, has the ability and the time to help it would be so
greatly appreciated by myself, but more importantly by the homeless
people who suffer at the cruel hands of the weather every year. A cozy
scarf won't just help them today, or tomorrow, but for years. The winter
is so bitterly cold day and night, many homeless cannot get into a
night shelter and have to make do with a doorway. There are more than
you would think and it is truly sad.
It snowed last night. This
morning it was freezing and my 20 minute walk into town was more than
enough time to feel thoroughly cold to the bone. I can not imagine how
horrid it must be to stay out there all night, every night.
Many
people ignore the homeless writing them all off as alcoholics or drug
addicts. Whilst this is true for many homeless people, it is not true
for all of them. There are many reasons why you could become homeless,
don't judge everyone because of the actions of others.
If you are able to help please comment or go to the Facebook page.
Thank you for checking in :)
