The amazing Pip from Meet me At Mikes is organising Softies for Mirabel for the third consecutive year. (I'm a bit slow on the uptake so this is my first year to be involved!).
So what is the Mirabel Foundation? "Mirabel assists children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use and are now in the care of extended family (kinship care). Mirabel believes that every child deserves a childhood and its mission is to break the destructive cycle of addiction and disadvantage."
The Softies for Mirabel programme is part of the Mirabel Toy Drive and gives such children a lovely, handmade toy. I understand that the programme hopes to collect 700 softies this year.
Below is Harry Highpants. He is winging his way to Melbourne to find someone to cuddle him. If you want to take part visit Meet Me at Mikes. There's lots of info about what to do and where to find patterns.
