When we launched our version of AmiguruMAY, we weren’t quite sure what to expect.
The first few weeks were quiet, but slowly, little friends started arriving at the shop. Then more arrived. And more. By the end of the month, our donation box was overflowing with bears, bunnies, sea creatures, and all sorts of adorable companions lovingly handmade by this community.
Together, you donated over 50 amigurumis to gift to the children under the care of . Any excess amigurumis will also help raise funds for the programmes they run.
To everyone who dug through their yarn scraps, picked up a hook, found the time to make one more little friend, and donated it with an open heart, thank you.
To those who opened up their cupboards, revisited their finished pile, and chose to part with amigurumis that had been lovingly made and treasured, thank you too. We know that isn’t always easy.
And to everyone who supported, shared, encouraged, and helped spread the word, thank you for being part of this.
A special thank you to the team at Extraordinary People for welcoming us and our idea and for the meaningful work you do every day in supporting children with special needs and their families.
This project began because May is traditionally a month for making amigurumis. Thanks to all of you, it became a month of kindness, generosity, and community too. ♥️
What a beautiful reminder that a little yarn, a little creativity, and a lot of heart can go a very long way.
