Have you made your mini yarn beanies yet? Daniel, Kate, Sam, Elias, Fiona (Kids from 20 SECONDS OF COURAGE) and I have made them for a super girl named Natalia who lives to give back to others. By making these beanies, I think they learned how to be strong, brave and kind boys/girls like her. Now they started thinking what they need and can do for others and what is important than playing with their phone (and/or computer, games etc…) Elias, 9, said “We don’t need to do something big. What we need to do is something small like this little beanies and if you keep doing it, it can be bigger than an one big thing.”
Nathalia, who was diagnosed at age 12 with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, and has since undergone countless chemotherapy treatments and endured major surgeries. Due to recent findings, she only has a few more weeks left.
I’m going to support all the kids who are diagnosed with cancer and their families - from their siblings who may not understand why their brother/sister is sick and what they are fighting for to parents who are fighting with and want nothing more than their child to be cured and live happily ever after. Please kindly join this campaign and post your handmade beanies to spread awareness.
The campaign starts now with all of the instructions on how to make them and where to send them on @loveyourmelon’s website - link in their bio. For every person that makes one or more beanies for Nat and sends it to them by February 4th, they’ll send back a Love Your Melon beanie to wear and remember her by.
