Fundraiser for Jennie

Hi everyone, my name is Julia Parlette-Carino, a knit designer based in Charlottesville, VA. I am raising funds for one of my test knitters for an upcoming pattern. Jennie DeBunce is from Phoenix, Oregon, and if you've been following the news of the fires, you'll find that much of the towns of Phoenix and Talent, Oregon have been destroyed.  [link to news article]

Jennie has been so instrumental in testing my pattern for me. I wouldn't be ready for releasing with without her and my other testers' help. Jennie's house is luckily still standing, but both her mother's and her grandmother's houses have been lost to the fires. I'd love to help out as much as I can. Please consider contributing. The funds will be used to help Jennie's mother and grandmother rebuild. It will not be enough to cover all their costs, but any amount, however small, could help.

Jennie is also accepting commissions for knit and crochet work, but I thought it would be a great idea to offer another way to contribute.

Thank you!
