Help Keep Babies Warm with this Month's Charity Feature
Stitches from the Heart

Preemie Baby

Stitches from the Heart began when California native Kathy Silverton's son showed her an article about a baby going home from a hospital with only diapers. This stark image inspired Silverton to turn her love for charity-knitting into her very own charity. She began by getting friends to make knitted and crocheted baby items for local hospitals. Soon, Stitches from the Heart became a 501(c)(3) charity organization.

Now with over 12,000 volunteers, Stitches from the Heart has donated over 599,000 items to 1,120 hospitals across the United States.
