This month our Featured Charity is being presented by Joanita Theron of Creative Crochet Workshop.
This is a Charity near and dear to her heart and although it may not be a local charity for all of us, we hope by sharing it with our friends and family – the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital will receive the support it needs! Please read on to learn more about the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital and how we can help. If you are unable to help personally, please share this with your friends online – you never know – you may reach someone who is able to make a difference locally! ♥ Rhondda
