Pay It Forward

This is a wonderful story about a man who anonymously donates hand-crocheted hats to the homeless. Since learning to crochet from a YouTube videoLearn to crochet in January, Ernie has made and donated 30-35 hats, hanging them on a tree or fence in Grand Rapids’ poorest neighborhoods with a note: “free wool hat just for you.” Ernie was quoted in the article as saying,  “I just think everybody should be treated as a human being. And if everybody did just one little thing, it would improve the lives of so many people.”
