Our Shared Acts of Kindness in July

July is often associated with holidays, vacations, and leisurely summer days. But acts of kindness have their own rhythm: they continue regardless of the season.

Summer is a particularly lovely time to meet new people and tell them about the work of Steidzīgo Bērnu Fejas. Every fair is an opportunity to introduce visitors to our work, and every package we send is another step towards bringing care to babies in different towns and cities across Latvia.

Behind all these activities are people who find the time and energy to help. Thank you to everyone who supported us through donations and monthly contributions, knitted and sewed, joined our gatherings, helped at fairs, and shared our work with others. Thanks to you, summer is filled not only with events, but also with genuine care.

Thanks to you, together we were able to:

Create: 336 items for babies.

Purchase: 45 skeins of yarn for our Fairies.

What happened in July

• On 2 July, we prepared the first 10 “Knit an Octopus Yourself” kits for charity fairs. Visitors can now not only learn about our initiative but also try making an octopus themselves.

New Fairies

In July, a new Fairy of Faith joined our circle of monthly supporters. Thank you for choosing to be by our side and support us regularly. Every monthly contribution becomes part of the shared care that continues month after month.

The summer months may be filled with different plans, but acts of kindness are not seasonal. While someone knits at home, another welcomes visitors at a fair, prepares packages, or delivers yarn to fellow Fairies, our shared mission keeps moving forward.

Behind every figure in July's report are real people, their time, attention, and desire to help. It is these small but meaningful actions that come together to create care that reaches babies and their families across Latvia.

Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey.
