Being There for Each Other

One of the many things about this online craft community that I love dearly is the fact that, in hard times, we help each other.

Linda, who many of you know from Adorn Magazine, CraftStylish, and Crochet Today Magazine, is raising funds for her family. Her brother in law was recently diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer. He can’t go back to work, and he and Linda’s sister have a small baby.

So, Linda has created the Hope For Jasenn Etsy Shop, and crafters from all over have donated items for sale. 100% of the profits will go directly to Jasenn and his family.

If you’re looking for handmade holiday gifts, why not choose something from the shop? Not only will you give a nice gift, you’ll be helping someone who needs it.

There’s a ton of good things on offer, and the shop will be open through December 15th.

You can also make a donation through Linda’s blog. So – as an added incentive, I’ll give a Christmas zine to the first five people who donate at least $10.00, and forward me the donation confirmation email.

Thanks for being part of the community!

This is lovely. Is there any way to donate items instead of cash?

I just wanted to chime in that I’m still accepting donations of handmade items if anyone would rather donate than spend $– just send me a message through the shop (http://hopeforjasenn.etsy.com) or leave a comment on my blog expressing interest (http://lindamade.wordpress.com) -my attempt to eliminate spam.

The shop will be open till the 15th, and reopen in January, so even if you can’t make something right away, I’m willing to work with you. Thanks generous crafters!
Linda
