It all started when…

November 26,2017

We learned of the tragic death of Erin, my 22-year-old beautiful niece. Her death was suicide.

January 26, 2018

Her service was held at the local theater, a fitting place for a recently graduated theater major, a young woman committed to change and advocacy for the poor, ill and underprivileged. We were permitted to take some of her personal belongings and I found her large knitting basket, still with projects half completed. I brought her basket home, found her knitting needles and learned how to knit. It brought me comfort.

I eventually found my new knitting skills making horse bonnets. To this day they remain a labor of love and hopefully of healing grief.

These bonnets are made lovingly in Erin's honor and a portion of all proceeds is donated to suicide prevention resources. 

If you or someone you know suffers from depression or has suicidal thinking or tendencies, PLEASE continue to seek the professional help needed to treat this illness.

It is treatable. There is hope.

You are loved.
