We receive up to 3 daily personal requests for hats for kids battling cancer.  Typically, we fill these requests on the weekend, finding the perfect hat for each child, and sometimes 2 or 3 hats that we think they’ll love.  Today, we’re filling more than 20 personal requests sent in this month.  Each shipment costs us about $5 for postage.  These kids are so brave and we’re so thankful for our wonderful donors that help us help these kids.  Here are a few pictures of the children who have received our hats, and our shipments going out today!
