Littlejohns Yarn | Crochet Knockers! Mastectomy Breast Prosthesis @LittlejohnsYarn | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What better way to contribute to a wonderful cause, then to crochet a pair of breast prosthesis.
Knitted Knockers mission is connecting volunteer knitters (and crocheters) with breast cancer survivors by providing free knitted knockers. They do this by inspiring and equipping volunteers to make them. They have over 4,000 individuals and groups registered in 50 states and 33 countries.
They work with many medical centers across the country to provide knitted knockers directly to their patients. Over 1,500 medical clinics registered with them.
Knitted Knockers have provided 100 knitted knockers to the women of Rwanda, where reconstruction is not an option for most women. We also trained 30 Rwandan women to make them for their hospitals. A team from Kenya learned from the Rwandan women and are now providing for the women of Kenya.

⭐There are 3 ways that people can help⭐

2. Share with your friends on social media. Like and share us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
