Crafting for a purpose. Sending love during isolation.

International Creative Women • 19 March 2020

A few days ago, the Government asked us to stay home, so schools are closed and many elderly houses closed their doors for visitors. We started to wonder how we can help...

We joined the Facebook group Coronahulp Eindhoven, to see how we could help. Maybe we could do groceries for the people or walk their dogs. Then we saw a message from a mom whose son was about to celebrate his birthday. She was asking people to send cards to make his day special.

Everything was clear!! That’s how we can help, that’s what we do best, We are creative women!

In our community there are watercolor artists, painters, illustrators, designers, makers and crafters!

We sent a message and the response was overwhelming! 14 women are making, for free, dozens of cards full of color and love to share positive vibes and smiles. So now, We are preparing almost 200 cards for people in elderly houses and for those who can use your support messages.
