With A Very Saddened Heart

This isn't one of the posts I like to make. As a matter of fact, I wish I wasn't making this post at all.

Awhile back, I was contacted by someone who wanted to gift an afghan to Mr. Pierce. He was fighting his second battle with leukemia.

Pierce Ruck's CarePage


Pierce lost his battle on December 18th and will be put to rest the day after Christmas.

I want to extend all my thoughts and prayers to Pierce's family over their loss.

I am so, so sorry. There are no words to heal the pain you are experiencing.



Rest in peace, Pierce.

An Afghan Of Their Own Fund

This fund has been created through The T21 Traveling Afghan Project in order to provide afghans for children with Down syndrome who are ill or facing other challenges.

This money goes towards purchasing yarn and covering the shipping costs of the afghan. You may make a donation towards a specific child or donate to the fund in general.

When you donate, the child will be sent a card with your name on it and you will be informed as to which child your donation provided an afghan to.

If you are interesting in donating to An Afghan Of Their Own Fund, please contact me at chandosjoy@gmail.com
