Kits to Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that gives curated cancer care kits to patients and their loved ones. Our mission is to bring smiles and solidarity to those affected by cancer, one kit at a time.
2 mini crochet animals may receive 1 service hour
1 larger crochet animal may receive 1 service hour
Help craft soft, colorful amigurumi creatures for patients undergoing cancer treatments. These thoughtful gifts not only brighten the patients' days but also serve as a symbol of care and encouragement during a challenging time. Please feel free to add keychains to the mini crochet creatures!
In terms of sizing, the mini crochet animals should be about the size of the palm of your hand, while the larger crochet animals may be the size of the hand itself. Due to the size limitations of our care kits, we will not be able to accept crochet animals larger than the size of an average adult hand. Thanks for your understanding and support!
