Welcome to Threads Of Hope
Threads Of Hope is a non profit organization made by high school students in Austin, TX who are passionate about crochet. We create crochet plushies/stuffed animals and donate them to oncology patients at Dell Children's Medical Center to spread kindness and hope while they go through their treatment.

About the Creator:
Sophia Cortes
My name is Alexa Young
I began crocheting as a freshman in high school, starting with simple hearts and quickly falling in love with the craft. Over the years, I've grown from stitching hats and sweaters to creating handmade plushies--each one a symbol of care and comfort. Now a senior and president of my school's Fiber Arts Club, I've learned that fiber arts is not only as a creative outlet but also as a way to give back. Every smile sparked by a plushie reminded me of why I started: to bring warmth, hope, and joy to others.
